the  establishment  of  the  ^Militarj'  Academj%  in  1802,  to  1867,  inclusive,  giving  their 
promotions,  stations,  commands,  war  records,  and  civil  services  when  they  have  left 
the  army  ;  a  complete  register  of  the  officers  of  the  institution,  with  their  histories ;

My  Deak  General — I  have  received  your  ' '  Biographical  Register  of  the  Officers  and 
Graduates  of  the  United  States  Military  Academy,"  which  you  have  done  me  the  honor 
to  forward  for  my  acceptance.  The  work  ought  to  show  to  the  enemies  of  the  Military 
Academy,  that  if  they  expect  to  harm  the  institution  in  the  minds  ot  the  American 
peo^jle,  they  must  keep  from  their  view  the  services  rendered  to  the  countrj'  by  its 
graduates.  Your  book  will  receive  the  fiivor  of  all  graduates,  except,  perhaps,  here- 
after, from  those  who  see  recorded  against  them,  "Joined  in  the  Rebellion  of  18G1-66, 
against  the  United  States.''     This  ought  to  be  odious. 

With  great  respect,  your  obedient  servant. 

U.  S.  Grant,  General. 


From  Lieut. -General  W.  T.  Sherman. 

Headquarters  Militaey  Division  of  the  JIissouki,  ) 
St.  Louis,  Febi^arij  15,  1868.  \ 

Dear  General — I  have  received  your  kind  note  of  February  11th,  -svitli  the  two  vol- 
umes of  the  Biographical  Eegister  of  the  Othcers  and  Graduates  of  the  U.  S.  Military 
Academy,  for  which  I  have  waited  long.  I  beheve  I  appreciate  the  vast  amoimt  of  care 
and  labor  you  have  bestowed  on  this  work,  and  feel  certain  you  will  be  well  rewarded 
for  it  in  the  thanks  of  the  tens  of  thousands  of  families  who  will  pore  over  these  vol- 
umes to  find  therein  recorded  the  brief  histories  of  their  friends.  I  have  read  your 
preface,  and  can  hardly  credit  the  fact  that  any  intelligent  man  will  now  ciucstion  the 
use  and  necessity  of  a  military  education.  Men  who  profess  the  law,  medicine,  ma- 
chineiy,  or  the  arts,  must  first  acquire  a  professional  education.  How  much  more 
neces.s"ary  with  us  who  hold  in  our  hands  the  lives  of  so  many  people,  and  the  honor 
and  good  name  of  the  country  itself? 

I  also  observe  that  j'ou  meet  an  objection  by  some  people  in  the  early  part  of  our  civil 
W'ar,  when  the  minds  of  all  were  aroused,  excited,  and  ajjt  to  run  astray.  None  of  us 
contend  that  because  we  graduated  at  "West  Point,  we  are  the  less  intn,  with  all  the 
passions  and  weaknesses  of  other  men,  liable  to  err,  and  even  to  crime  ;  but  the  facts 
and  figures  given  by  you  are  conclusive  on  this  point,  that  in  the  great  heaving  cause 
that  shook  our  national  fabric,  a  less  proportion  of  our  graduates  were  blinded  and 
misled  than  of  Senators  and  llei^resentatives  in  Congress,  of  Judges  of  the  Supreme 
Court,  or  of  the  colleges  located  in  the  most  rigidly  patriotic  spots  of  our  country — 
Yale  and  Harvard. 

I  do  not  think  w-e  claim  that  West  Point  can  in  four  years  accomplish  miracles  and 
utterly  remould  the  character  of  its  pupils,  but  it  has  in  the  past  and  will  make  in  the 
future,  men  more  useful  in  the  details  of  life,  more  reliable  and  faithful  to  their  trusts, 
whether  private  or  public,  and  more  national  in  their  attributes  and  aspirations,  than 
any  other  system  of  education  hitherto  tried  ;  and  these  results  are  cheaply  attained 
by  our  national  Military  Academy. 

While  there  is  such  unlimited  freedom  to  the  expression  of  public  opinion  as  in  our 
country,  we  must  expect  the  widest  criticism  and  the  wildest  views  ;  but  my  observa- 
tion convinces  me  that  at  no  former  period  of  our  history  was  the  Academy  more  firmly 
rooted  in  the  respect  and  good  opinion  of  our  people  than  now,  and  I  have  no  fears 
but  that  it  will  always  receive,  the  generous  and  fostering  care  of  the  Government. 

In  the  course  of  TOiy  service  I  have  been  thrown  most  intimately  with  volunteer 
officers  who  had  not  received  the  advantage  of  the  West  Point  course  ;  but  all,  without 
exception,  regretted  that  they  had  not  enjoyed,  in  early  life,  the  minute  and  systematic 
instruction  in  the  elements  of  the  militarj'  profession,  which  they  realized  were  better 
taught  at  West  Point  than  at  any  other  institution  of  our  country. 

Instead  of  learning  the  same  things  with  the  aid  of  books,  they  had  to  learn  them  in 
camp,  sometimes  at  the  expense  of  valuable  lives. 

Knowing  the  intense  interest  you  take  in  this  subject,  I  assure  you  of  my  ardent 
sympathy  and  best  wishes  for  your  entire  success. 

With  great  respect, 

W.  T.  Sherman,  Lleuienani- General. 


Frc/m  Major- General  George  IT.  Tliomas. 

Louisville,  Ky.,  February  17,  18G8. 

My  Dear  General — I  yesterday  received,  per  Adams'  Express,  the  copy  of  the 
Register  of  the  Officers  and  Graduates  of  the  U.  S.  Military  Academy,  which  you  were 
so  kind  as  to  send  me,  for  which  I  bog  voti  to  accept  my  sincere  thanks. 

Aside  from  its  value  to  the  graduates  of  the  Military  Academy,  as  containing  a  con- 
densed and  reliable  summary  of  their  military  and  civil  history  after  graduating,  it 
must  be  a  source  of  just  pride  to  them  to  see  there  recorded  indisputable  evidence  of 
as  much  loyalty  among  the  alumni  of  our  Alma  Mater  as  can  be  met  with  among  any 
other  class  of  American  citizens. 

I  veiature  unhesitatingly  to  say,  also,  that  no  other  institution  of  learning  in  the 
country  has  contributed  more  to  the  advancement  of  science  and  literature  than  the 
Military  Academy  at  West  Point. 

I  am,  very  truly  yours, 

Geo.  H.  Thomas,  Mnjor-Oeneral  U.  S.  A.

F)-om  a  distinguished  Officer  of  Volunteers. 

My  Dear  General — In  acknowledging  a  copy  of  your  Register  to-day  received,  I 
take  the  liberty  to  say  how  much  curious  instruction  and  pleasure  I  have  found  in  a 
cursory  examination  of  its  most  laborious  details.  I  am  reminded  of  the  expressive, 
stern  silence  of  tlie  vacant  place  on  the  wall,  once  occupied  by  the  picture  of  Marino 
Faliero  among  the  Doges  of  Venice,  when  I  look  at  your  short  final  record  of  such 
graduates  as  Jctferson  Davis  and  Robert  E.  Lee.  It  seems  to  me  very  felicitous  to 
leave  them  and  all  their  barren  honors  without  a  word  of  mention,  when  they  severed 
their  connection  with  an  institution  which  has  been  the  splendid  mnae- praisidium  et 
decifs— of  National  Life  and  Loyalty.     It  is  grand. 

Your  preface  meets  my  warm  sympathy.  As  a  volunteer  it  was  my  lot  to  serve 
under,  with,  and  over  graihiates  of  West  Point.  I  felt  the  great  delicacy  of  command- 
ing men  bred  to  "  le  metier  des  armes"  without  offending  their  self-love  or  my  own. 
And  it  is  a  pleasant  memory  to  me  that  my  warmest  friendships  were  with  regulars, 
graduates  chiefly  ;  and  I  have  often  said  that  I  was,  in  every  duty,  perfectly  sure  of  the 
true,  loyal,  and  whole-souled  service  of  those  men  who  knew  so  much  better  than  mj'- 
self  whether  my  orders  were  correct  enough  to  justify  the  readj''  and  energetic  support 
which,  in  every  instance  of  my  exi^erience  in  service,  I  received.  My  gratitude  to  these 
gallant  men  is  glad  to  find  even  this  private  exj^ressiou.  I  honored  and  felt  for  them  ; 
and  my  grateful  esteem  for  them  all — those  who  taught  mc  much  and  those  who  deli- 
cately concealed  how  much  they  could  teach  me,  that  I  ought  in  my  position  to  know — 
has  left  me  with  a  most  fraternal  love  for  many  individuals,  and  the  highest  regard  and 
respect  for  the  Military  Academy  as  a  faithful,  essential  bulwark  of  our  safety. 


Fi'om  a  Graduate  of  Harvard  College. 

General —  ....  Although  a  stranger,  permit  me  to  express  the  obhgations  which 
every  citizen  should  feel  for  this  most  valuable  and  important  contribution  to  the  history 
of  the  nation  ;  and  its  j^reparation  must  have  involved  a  mitch  greater  amount  of  labor 
than  j'OU  even  are  willing  to  allow. 

The  defence  of  West  Point  in  your  introduction  will  be  of  great  value,  and  yet  it  is 
rather  melancholy  to  think  that  any  word  of  defence  is  needed,  when  the  whole  country, 
and  even  our  heavens,  are  covered  with  monuments  of  its  scientific  attainments  and 
achievements,  and  while  the  paths  of  the  dead  are  but  too  thickly  strewed  with  those 
other  sad  monuments  which  speak  of  patriotism,  heroism,  and  faithful  endeavor. 

But  your  pages  have  a  record  of  the  living,  which  must  endear  the  Academy  to  the 
hearts  and  understanding  of  all  this  generation — if  we  except  ambitious  declaimers  and 
political  demagogues  ;  and  for  the  service  which  yovi  have  done  to  the  body  politic,  you 
will  excuse  me  if  I  take  the  liberty  of  thus  expressing  my  grateful  acknowledgments. 


From  the  Xorth  American  Beview. 

General  Cullum  has  finally  published  his  long-expected  Revised  Register  of  West 
Point  Graduates.  It  is  a  book  indispensable  to  every  one  who  studies  the  military 
history  or  establishment  of  the  Republic;  but  its  keenest  interest  is  for  those  who  are  its 
subject.  It  gives  concisely,  but  fully  and  accurately,  the  leading  events  in  the  life  of 
each  graduate,  from  the  opening  of  the  Academy  to  the  reorganization  of  the  army,  in 
1S6G;  and  the  simple  record  of  efforts,  triumphs,  and  tragedies  is  the  more  affecting  to 
the  survivors  from  the  close  ties  with  which  the  Academy  has  bound  together  the  Reg- 
ular Army.  An  esprit  de  corps,  unknown  to  any  other  college  in  the  country,  is  created 
liy  the  very  nature  and  regulations  of  the  institution.  Cadets  just  emerging  from  boy- 
hood are  separated  from  their  homes  and  from  the  world  for  four  years.  For  amends, 
the}'  are  bound  together  by  constant  intercourse  and  a  systematic  emulation  in  studies, 
arts,  exercises,  and  amusements.  They  are  in  constant  and  familiar  association  with 
localities  and  scenes  famous  in  Cadet  tradition  for  the  deeds  of  their  predecessors,  to 
which  their  own  exploits  are  to  be  added, — both  forming  through  their  lives  an 
exhaustlcss  theme  for  the  night  watches  in  the  steaming  jungles  of  the  Everglades  or 
the  icy  mountains  of  Oregon.  And  to  whatever  post  an  officer  may  go,  he  will  be 
welcomed  by  those  who  know  him  intimately,  at  least  by  reputation,  and  with  whom 
he  has  a  thousand  common  interests.  Isola-tion  magnifies  trifles  ;  and  in  the  little 
absolute  despotism  of  West  Point,  party  spirit  runs  high,  and  for  ten  years  before  the 

3 


war,  the  Cadets  took  sides  in  their  violent  political  disputes,  almost  io  a  man,  as  they 
were  afterwards  divided,  iu  life  or  in  death,  on  the  hard-fought  battle-iields  of  the  great 
Rebelliou  ;  and  as  then,  after  the  dispute,  Cadets  would  (]uietly  fall  in  and  march  to 
mess  to  discuss  over  their  hash  the  performance  of  their  horses  at  cavalry  drill,  so, 
during  the  war.  on  our  side  at  least,  after  the  prisoners  were  brought  in.  it  was  no  rare 
sight  to  find  a  Rebel  as  much  at  home  in  the  camp  of  some  former  room-mate  or  com- 
rade, as  though  for  the  time  every  jmnciple  of  the  "little  unpleasantness"  was  for- 
gotten, and  the  dingy  Eebel  graj'  was  transformed,  and  represented  to  their  eyes 
nothing  but  the  old  spruce  uniform,  more  familiar  to  them  both  than  any  other. 

This  freemasonry  seems  an  obnoxious  exclusi\eness  to  some  unreasonable  oi:>ponents 
who  ignore  its  advantages.  It  is  probably  one  of  the  causes  of  the  violent  and  unjust 
attacks  to  which  the  Academj'  is  so  often  subject.  The  Preface  of  General  CuUum's 
Register  gives  and  suggests  facts  which  should  disarm  such  a.s.sailants,  and  which  are 
invaluable  for  the  defence  made  by  its  friends,  and  for  candid  inquirers  after  the 
truth. 

In  the  first  j'ears  of  the  late  war,  many  undeserved  reproaches  were  thrown  out 
against  the  Academy  for  failing  to  accomplish  impossibilities,  and  the  country  seemed 
ignorant  of  the  familiar  principle,  of  which  General  Cullum  here  reminds  us,  that  for 
great  commanders,  ability,  knowledge,  and  experience — all  three— are  essential.  In 
1861  there  was  no  military  experience  in  the  coimtry  at  all  proportioned  to  the  neces- 
sary scale  of  operations  ;  there  was,  no  doubt,  more  military  abilitj'  among  the  men 
whose  tastes  had  impelled  them  to  seek  West  Point,  than  among  the  same  number  in 
civil  life  ;  and  military  knowledge  was  confined  to  the  Regular  Army  and  to  the  grad- 
uates. Under  these  circumstances,  it  would  seem  to  have  been  clear  where  our  leaders 
should  have  been  sought  exclusively  at  the  outset.  The  assembled  wisdom  of  the 
nation  thought  differently,  and  it  is  an  instructive  study  to  compare  the  places  held  by 
political  generals  in  the  Union  Army  early  in  the  war  with  the  results  they  had  accom- 
plished at  its  close.  General  Cullum,  with  the  modesty  of  a  veteran,  does  not  refer  to 
this  ;  but  the  Army  Register  for  186G  shows,  that,  of  the  seventeen  general  officers  of 
the  Regular  Army  at  the  end  of  the  war.  all  but  one  were  graduates  of  West  Point;  and 
without  detracting  from  General  Terry's  glory,  it  is  just  to  say  that  his  promotion  was 
rather  due. to  the  enthusiasm  for  one  valuable  victory  than  for  well-established  general- 
ship, and  that  this  victory  was  of  the  straightforward  sort  that  depends  more  on  the 
bodj'  of  troops  than  on  their  head. 

But  war,  if  an  expensive,  is  also  a  thorough  school,  and  the  knowledge  and  experi- 
ence gained  in  the  Rebellion  were  so  great  in  proportion,  that  they  were  i-apidly 
destroying  the  advantage  in  these  respects  before  held  by  regularly  educated  soldiers  ; 
and  by  the  end  of  the  war,  leaders,  whether  Volunteer  or  Regulai',  were  fast  falling  into 
the  places  their  aVnlity  entitled  them  to. 

It  is  true  manj'  West  Point  commanders  failed,  even  where  this  was  not  due  to  their 
supporters  or  to  circumstances.  This  is  only  allowing  that  all  did  not  possess  the 
three  requisites  that  have  been  mentioned.  But  it  must  be  remembered  that  the  Con- 
federacy advanced  its  We.st  Point  graduates  much  more  systematically  than  we  did, 
and  that  many  a  defeat  for  the  Union  was  still  a  success,  though  on  the  wrong  side,  for 
West  Point. 

This  leads  us  to  speak  of  the  loyalty  of  West  Point  graduates.  It  is  a  common 
notion  that  they  were  under  peculiar  obligations  to  the  United  States  Government. 
This  mistake  is  well  exposed  by  General  Cullum,  who  argues  unanswerably  that  they 
were  educated  by  the  country  for  its  benefit,  and  not  for  their  own  ;  and  that  the  event 
has  proved  the  economy  of  the  Academy,  even  in  dollars  and  cents.  This  is  clear  from 
a  view  which  the  author  only  hints  at.  Every  Cadet  is  enlisted  to  serve  four  j'ears 
after  graduating.  In  these  four  years,  most  of  them — all  those  iu  staff  corps— have 
responsibilities  and  perform  duties  that  in  commercial  life  would  command  pay  enough 
higher  than  they  receive  to  amply  compensate  for  the  cost  of  their  education.  It  is 
difficult  to  see  that  the  crime  of  a  Southern  graduate,  in  rebelling,  is  any  greater  than 
that  of  any  other  government  official. 

But  arc  we  not  assuming  a  little  too  much  in  taking  the  disloyalty  of  West  Point  for 
granted?  One  of  the  saddest  experiences  of  the  war  was  the  observation  of  the  deep- 
seated,  firm  conviction  in  the  minds  of  many  of  the  most  high-minded,  religious 
Southern  men  and  women,  and  growing  from  their  first  consciousness  in  the  minds  of 
their  children,  that  their  cause  was  a  righteous  one,  and  that  they  were  resisting  an 
unholy  war  of  invasion  ;  one  of  the  plcasantcst  sights  in  a  general  view,  but  without 
much  comfort  for  our  side,  immediate  or  future,  was  that  of  the  active,  cordial  sympa- 
thy of  the  Southern  women  with  the  men,  even  more  general  and  efficient  than  with 
us.  The  question  was  not  brought  home  to  us,  and  it  is  hard  fur  us  to  form  an  idea  of 
the  strength  and  suffering  required  for  a  kindly,  right-minded  man  to  give  up  the 
dearest  ties  of  earth  for  a  point  of  abstract  morality  enveloped  in  a  thick  cloud  of  casu- 
istry, and  to  become  a  reproach  and  an  outcast  iu  the  laud  of  his  fathers.     If  those  who 

4 


failed  iu  this  test  deserve  censure,  certainly  those  who  stood  it  deserve  no  common 
praise,  and  in  reference  to  these.  General  Cnllum  gives  us  facts  and  figures  oi  which 
West  Point  may  well  be  proud.     He  says  : 

'•It  is  unfortunately  true  that  many  forgot  the  flag  under  which  they  were  educated, 
to  follow  false  gods.  But  who  were  the  leaders  of  this  treason,  but  the  honoi-ed  and 
trusted  iu  the  laud,  filling,  or  who  had  filled,  the  highest  places  in  the  government, — 
Senators,  Representatives,  Members  of  the  Cabinet,  Foreign  Ministers,  Judges  of 
United  States  Courts,  and  even  those  who  had  been  elected  by  the  people  to  fill  the 
highest  offices  in  their  gift?  Was  it  then  a  gi-eater  crime  for  graduates  of  our  national 
Academy  to  forsake  their  country  than  for  the  highest  officials  in  every  branch  of  the 
government,  executive,  legislative,  and  judicial,  who,  from  the  seceding  States,  almost 
to  a  man,  joined  the  llebel  standard  ? 

••But  let  us  examine  this  llebellion  Record  a  little  more  closely.  In  the  executive 
department  toxxr  ))residents  were  living  when  secession  began.  Of  these,  the  only  South- 
erner joined  the  Rebels  ;  another  did  the  country  more  harm  than  an  avowed  enemy  ; 
while  the  others,  certainly,  were  not  over-demonstrative  in  their  efforts  to  preserve  the 
Union.  Belonging  to  the  bench  of  the  Supreme  Court  there  were  four  Southern  Judges, 
of  whom  two  remained  loj'al,  one  was  strongly  sympathetic  with  the  South,  and  one 
joined  the  Rebels.  The  Southern  Judges  of  the  United  States  District  Courts  sided 
with  their  own  |  eople.  Of  the  Senators  in  Congress  from  the  seceding  States,  but  one, 
and  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  but  Uiree,  remained  loyal.  Nearly  all  the  agents  of 
the  State,  Treasurj',  Interior,  and  Post-Office  Departments,  residing  in  or  from  the 

seceding  States,  espoused  the  Rebel  cause Of  those  appointed  in  the  army 

from  civil  life,  nearly  one  half,  while  but  a  little  over  one  fifth  of  the  West  Point  officers 

left  the  service  and  joined  in  the  Rebellion 

"The  statistics  show  that  the  West  Point  part  of  the  army  has  been  by  far  the  most 
loyal  branch  of  the  public  service  ;  that  nearly  four  fifths  of  its  graduate  officers 
remained  faithful ;  that  one  half  of  those  from  the  South  stood  firm  by  the  stars  and 
stripes  ;  and  in  the  battles  for  the  Union,  that  one  fifth  of  those  engaged  laid  down  their 
lives,  more  than  one  third,  and  probably  one  half,  were  wounded,  and  the  survivors  can 
point  with  manly  pride  to  their  services  here  recorded  for  the  preservation  of  the 
nation."' 

With  these  facts  stated,  the  Academy  needs  no  eulogy,  and  can  securely  rest  her 
honor  on  her  loyal  children,  and  her  efficiency  on  her  turbulent  children  as  well. 

The  book  in  respect  to  taste  and  execution  is  admirable.  It  does  not  stoop  to  pre- 
serve the  fame  of  misdirected  valor,  and  the  only  notice  of  the  most  eminent  Rebels 
after  leaving  our  service,  as  though  when  they  lost  their  honor  they  had  lost  their  lives 
with  it,  is,  that  they  "joined  in  the  Rebellion  of  1861-66,  against  the  United  States," 
with  the  date  and  place  of  their  death,  when  known.  The  labor  of  compilation  and 
correction  was  immense ;  the  arrangement  is  singularly  convenient,  system^atic,  and 
happy  ;  and  the  result  is  a  new  honor  in  peace  to  its  author,  already  so  distinguished 
in  war,  and  a  new  illustration  of  the  claims  of  the  institution  he  defends. 


From  the  Xew  York  Herald. 

"After  many  years  of  persevering  toil,"  says  the  author,  "I  present  to  my  brother 
graduates  of  the  Military  Academy,  this  record  of  their  services,  honorable  to  them- 
selves, giving  world  renown  to  their  Alma  Mater,  and  claiming  for  their  country  a  place 
in  the  first  rank  of  military  nations." 

This  work  will  not  be  considered  by  the  public  iu  the  light  in  which  its  author  mod- 
estly regards  it,  as  having  its  chief  interest  in  the  circle  of  the  graduates  from  the  Mili- 
tary Academy.  It  is  a  contribution  to  the  history  of  the  country,  and  just  now  will  be 
more  especially  regarded  as  a  contribution  to  the  history  of  the  war.  It  is  hardly  po.s- 
sible  to  over  estimate  its  value  in  this  regard.  It  contains,  well  digested  in  cyclopnsdic 
form,  a  vast  amount  of  information  of  a  kind  always  difficult  to  obtain,  inasmuch  as  it 
is  in  so  great  a  degree  personal.  It  comprises  in  its  two  volumes  of  over  six  hundred 
pages  each,  "The  Etats  de  Service"  of  all  graduates  from  the  establishment  of  the 
Military  Academy,  in  1802,  to  the  present  time  ;  a  complete  register  of  the  officers  of  the 
institution,  vrith  their  histories  ;  a  full  list  of  the  military  posts  of  the  United  States, 
present  and  past ;  an  alphabetical  table  of  all  battles,  combats,  actions,  &c.,  in  which 
graduates  have_  participated  ;   besides  much  other  useful  and  statistical  information. 

And  these  "Etats  de  Service,"  2,500  in  number,  though  not  biographies  in  the  tn-di- 
nary  sense  of  the  term,  nevertheless  contain  the  prominent  facts  of  each  individual's 
military  or  public  life.  They  are  the  protracted  creations  of  a  lifetime,  and  do  not 
come  iu  the  category  of  the  numerous  easily-written  narrations  and  so-called  histories 

5 


of  the  eveuts  of  ouv  great  civil  war.  with  which  the  press  teems,  and,  moreover,  they 
demaud  habits  of  miud,  intellectual  qualitications,  and  tastes  which  are  rarely  com- 
bined. 

When,  however,  such  a  work  does  at  rare  intervals  appear,  it  at  once  becomes  a 
nece.'^sity.  No  historian  can  vrrite,  no  student  can  read  or  .study  his  countrj^'s  history 
without'it,  while  to  libraries,  public  and  private,  it  becomes  a  sine  qua  7ion.  Nor  would 
any  one  who  has  become  acquainted  with  the  character  of  this  work  and  feels  interest 
in  the  civil  or  military  career  of  any  one  of  the  Academy's  graduates,  or  would  have  a 
remembrance  of  the  events  of  our  various  struggles  with  foreign  powers  or  of  those  of 
that  momentous  one  for  our  national  existence,  willingly  be  without  these  volumes. 

The  preface  to  the  work  sets  forth  in  brief  the  importance  of  military  education.  It 
seems  strange  that  it  could  be  necessary  to  argue  such  a  point,  that  we  could  expect 
individuals  or  nations  to  excel  in  the  most  difficult  of  all  arts  without  the  study  and 
practice  which  evei'y  other  art,  or  science,  or  calling  demands  for  its  perfect  exercise. 

Yet  we  cannot  ignore  the  fact  that  there  are  those  who  depreciate  military  education, 
and  by  the  phrase  "heaven-born  generals."  would  understand  men  who,  from  the  bar 
or  the  plough,  pass  at  once  to  the  successful  command  of  armies.  Such  anomalies  are 
never  presented.  Cromwell,  indeed,  had  little  education  of  any  kind  when  he  entered 
public  life,  but  it  required  years  of  the  stern  teachings  of  actual  warfare  to  make  him 
the  great  soldier  he  became.  Great  soldier  as  he  was,  he  became  yet  greater  as  a  states- 
man, and  that,  too,  in  the  same  school  of  actual  practice  in  the  art  of  statesmanship. 
The  arguments  against  education  would  in  his  case  be  as  strong,  therefore,  as  applied 
to  its  use  for  making  statesmen,  as  soldiers. 

llany,  however,  admit  the  necessity  of  military  education  while  denouncing  the  Mil- 
itary Academj'  as  a  means  to  that  end. 

Against  the  aspersions  of  such  it  is  the  feature  of  General  Cullum's  work  that  it  fur- 
nishes so  rich  materials  for  its  vindication.  To  showing  how  the  Academy  has  been 
not  only  the  means  of  giving  us  an  accomplished  body  of  officers  for  our  army,  but  also 
of  raising  the  staudai-d  of  scientific  education  in  all  the  colleges  of  the  land,  and  of 
stimulating  the  development  of  works  of  civil  engineering  and  internal  improvements, 
by  furnishing  the  country  with  able  civil  engineei'S,  a  portion  of  the  preface  is  devoted  ; 
and  we  think  his  statements,  founded  as  they  are  upon  the  carefully  collected  facts 
which  the  book  records,  must  be  convincing  to  all  who  are  not  prejudiced  beyond  the 
power  of  truth  to  convince. 

The  author  is  not  less  earnest  and  full  in  dealing  with  charges  of  "disloyalty."  He 
proves  that  the  most  loyal  branch  of  the  public  service,  when  looked  at  as  a  whole,  was 
that  mainly  constituted  by  the  Academy  and  its  graduates. 

In  the  brief  space  we  can  devote  to  the  subject,  we  can  but  indicate  its  main  features, 
and  express  our  conviction  of  the  conscieutiou.s  hdeiity  with  which  the  author  has  elab- 
orated his  work,  and  of  the  peculiar  value  of  that  work  to  the  country,  which  should  be 
the  more  grateful  to  the  author,  since  gratitude  must  be  taken  by  him  in  part  payment, 
for  the  sale  of  such  books  seems  uecessaril}'  restricted. 


From  the  Boston  Walchman  a)id  Reflector. 

These  two  volumes  of  thirteen  hundred  pages  are  a  monument  of  General  Cullum's 
reverence  for  his  Alma  Mater,  and  of  the  patient  industry  with  which  he  has  ransacked 
archives,  examined  tons  of  manuscripts,  and  written  thousands  of  letters  to  collect  and 
condense  the  summaries  of  the  services  of  the  graduates  of  the  Military  Academy.  The 
work  contains  the  "  Statistics  relating  to  the  Graduates  ;"  a  record  of  the  "Battles  and 
Combats  fought  by  the  United  States  Armies  since  the  establishment  of  the  Academj' ;" 
a  list  of  the  "Forts,  Arsenals,  and  Military  Posts  of  the  United  States  ;"  a  "Register  of 
the  Officers  of  the  Academy,"  of  their  "Services  and  Promotions,"  and  a  "FiCgister  of 
the  Graduates"  from  its  establishment  until  18G7.  The  accuracy  and  comjileteuess  of 
the  work  will  render  it  serviceable  to  the  historian,  while  its  brief  but  frequent  narration 
of  services  will  serve  to  correct  the  prejudice  against  the  Academy  which  so  strangely 
exists.  While  one  half  of  the  officers  appointed  in  the  army  from  civil  life  joined  the 
rebellion,  but  a  little  over  one  fiiith  of  the  West  Point  graduates  deserted  their  flag  to 
serve  in  the  ranks  of  secession.  0)io  half  of  the  officers  appointed  from  the  South 
adhered  to  the  Union  ;  one  tilth  of  all  those  graduates  engaged  in  the  war  laid  down 
their  lives,  one  half  were  wounded,  and  the  survivors  may  answer  hostile  criticism  of 
their  Alma  Mater  by  pointing  with  manly  pride  to  the  services  recorded  in  these  vol- 
umes. General  Cullum  says  that  "  the  entire  cost  of  educating  the  whole  of  the  seced- 
ing graduates,  in  money,  was  not  more  than  was  saved  by  the  military  knowledge  of  its 
(West  Point's)  loyal  graduates  on  every  day  of  the  rebellion."

From  the  A'ew  York  Times. 

The  Beeches,  ilonday,  March  9,  1868. 

I  shonld  do  injustice  to  my  own  sense  of  its  value,  and  to  the  extraordinary  pains 
General  CuUuni  has  taken  in  its  preparation,  if  I  did  not  notice,  in  what  terms  of  favor 
I  could,  the  Biographical  Register  of  the  Otficers  and  Graduates  of  the  United  Stales 
Military  Academy.  In  my  opinion,  no  more  valuable  material  for  history  exists  in  this 
country.  The  triennial  catalogues  of  our  colleges  utterly  fail  in  that  for  which  they 
might  be  made  of  incalculable  value.  This  is  in  showing  what  the  graduates  of  colleges 
have  done.  They  do  show  when  a  graduate  has  become  a  clergyman,  and  when  one 
got  an  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  or  LL.  D. ;  but  this  shows  verj'  little  of  what  they  really  are,  and 
nothing  of  what  they  have  done.  Men  get  D.  D.  's  and  LL.  D.  's  often  when  they  have 
done  verj'  little  to  deserve  them.  An  LL.  D.,  in  its  true  sense,  is  a  distinction  for 
great  learning,  but  when  our  colleges  give  such  a  degi-ee  to  a  man  for  fighting  battles. 
it  is  just  as  if  West  Point  conferred  D.  D.'s  for  the  same  thing.  Even  the  universities 
of  England  have  got  to  giving  learned  titles  just  as  the  German  princes  confer  the  title 
of  Baron,  market  ouuerl.  For  this  reason  the  catalogues  of  colleges,  like  the  West  Point 
Register,  should  tell  what  the  gi-aduates  have  done,  what  they  have  lived  tor,  what  they 
have  shown  to  justifj'  a  liberal  education. 

In  this  respect,  Gen.  Cullum's  Register  of  West  Point  is  invaluable.  If  any  one  has 
got  anything  to  say  against  West  Point,  let  him  take  up  that  Register,  and  say  it,  but 
say  it  with  this  roll  oif  hard  work,  of  honorable  service,  and  of  great  performance  before 
him.  J.  undertake  to  say  that,  taking  the  average  of  their  years  and  opportunities  into 
view,  the  2.200  graduates  of  West  Point  have  done  more  solid  work  than  anj-  equal 
number  of  any  profession. 

Some  persons  may  fiay  that  the  work  for  which  they  are  educated  is  an  evil  work  ; 
that  war  is  an  enormous  evil.  Grant  it ;  but  military  men  do  not  make  war.  Wars  are 
made  by  merchants  and  politicians.  The  East  India  Company  (a  company  of  mer- 
chants )  made  more  wars  and  caused  more  bloodshed  than  any  ecpial  number  of  officers 
and  soldiers  on  the  face  of  the  earth.  And  more  than  half  of  modem  wars  have  been 
caused  by  what  is  called  aggression  on  commerce.  And  even  the  professed  ministers 
of  the  church,  the  brilliant  priests  who  figured  as  the  statesmen  of  the  middle  ages,  and 
of  Bourbons  and  Stuarts,  made  more  wars  than  any  generals  of  the  army.  War  is  not 
the  desire,  but  to  conduct  war  is  the  business  of  educated  soldiers.  As  long  as  avarice 
•md  ambition  make  war  a  business  among  mankind,  there  must  be  men  educated  to  it. 
That  needs  no  argument. 

A  graver  charge  has  been  made  against  West  Point,  that  it  is  immoral  and  irreligious. 
The  latest  edition  of  this  charge  is  in  a  letter,  professedly  from  some  unfledged  cadet  to 
a  paper  in  Chicago,  and  subsequently  quoted  in  Congi-ess.  Now,  suppose  this  was  actu- 
ally true,  is  it  not  equally  true  of  eveiy  college  in  the  land?  It  is  a  high  compliment  to 
"West  Point  to  expect  its  young  men  to  be  perfect  when  it  is  not  expected  of  any  college 
in  the  country.  I  undertake  to  say,  without  fear  of  contradiction,  that  there  is  more 
restraint  and  less  temptation  to  dissipation  at  West  Point  than  there  is  at  Harvai-d, 
Yale,  or  Princeton.  What  restraint  is  there  at  Harvard  or  Yale  to  prevent  dissipation 
or  immorality  among  young  men  to  any  extent?  Would  it  be  difficult  to  find  Harvard 
students  in  gross  dissipation  ?  Would  it  be  difficult  to  find  Yale  students  where  the 
laws  of  the  college  forbid  them  to  go?  Ou  the  other  hand,  it  is  barely  possible  for  the 
cadets  at  West  Point  to  escape  at  night  and  engage  in  some  immorality.  This  is  pos- 
sible, but  it  is  not  common  and  it  is  not  easy.  The  whole  establishment  and  grounds 
belong  to  the  Government ;  the  discipline  is  strict  and  most  rigidly  enforced,  and  the 
outward  temptations  small.  The  jiublic  services  of  religion  are  properly  attended  to, 
and  there  is  a  cadet's  prayer  meeting  once  a  week  for  those  who  are  religiously  inclined. 
The  chaplain  stands  to  West  Point  in  the  same  relation  that  the  Professor  of  Moral 
Philosophy  and  Ethics  does  to  tlie  colleges.  He  could  do  something  more  if  he  was 
entirely  relieved  (as  he  ought  to  be)  from  the  duties  of  a  professorship.  I  knew  a  chap- 
lain at  West  Point  to  do  something  I  have  not  seen  the  professors  in  colleges  do.  The 
corps  of  cadets  were  drawn  up  at  sunrise  each  morning  of  the  spring,  in  a  hollow 
square,  and  in  the  centre  of  that  square  the  pious  and  amiable  chaplain  knelt  down  on 
the  yet  wet  grass  and  offered  up  wor.sh:p  and  service  to  the  living  God.  I  am  not 
aware  that  the  chaplains  of  colleges  do  much  better  than  that.  But  thei-e  is  in  some 
things  an  air  of  religion  about  colleges  not  seen  at  West  Point.  Why?  Mainly  because 
a  large  number  of  young  men  go  to  colleges  for  the  express  purpose  of  being  educated 
for  the  ministry;  and,  of  course,  there  are  a  large  number  there  who  are  more  rigid 
and  earnest  in  religious  duties. 

One  great  wrong  has  crept  into  West  Point,  which  is  in  imitation  of  college  practices, 
called  hazing.  I  am  told  it  is  nearly  done  away  with.  Any  institution  will  lose  by 
permitting  that  practice.     For  the  older  cadets  or  students  to  imjjose  upon  the  young 

7 


and  inexperienced,  is  mean  and  dishonorable.  It  is  contraiy  to  the  whole  spirit  of 
chivalry,  which  aims  to  be  jnst,  generous,  and  magnanimous.  The  weak  and  innocent 
are  the  objects  of  its  care,  and  to  persecute  them  is  alike  cruel  and  dishonorable. 

I  intended  only  to  notice  the  Register  ;  but  I  can  only  state  some  general  focts.  The 
first  cadet,  Joseph  G.  Swift,  was  graduated  in  1802,  and  after  being  engaged  in  various 
services,  civil  and  military,  died  in  1865,  at  the  age  of  82.  The  whole  number  of  grad- 
uates, from  1802  to  1867,  inclusive,  was  2,218.  In  that  sixtj'-five  years  this  country  had 
but  nine  years  of  real  war,  and  in  those  nine  years  183  were  killed  in  battle.  I  think 
that  will  be  thought  a  large  proportion.  But  it  is  not  half  the  deaths  caused  by  these 
wars,  for  there  is  the  long  list  of  those  who  died  of  disease  or  wounds  caused  by  those 
campaigns.  Let  us  take  one  class  as  an  exami^le.  The  class  of  1841  had  fifty-two 
graduates.  Of  these  twentj^-five  are  dead.  Fourteen  were  killed  in  battle  and  ten  died 
in  service.  Forty-three  —more  than  four  fifths — were  engaged  in  battles.  The  first  one 
on  the  class  list  was  engaged  in  thirteen  important  battles  ;  the  next  in  twelve  ;  the 
fifth,  ha^^ng  served  at  Bull  Run  and  Chancellorsville,  died  of  wounds  ;  the  tenth  was 
killed  at  the  battle  of  Molino  del  Rey ;  the  eleventh  (Lyon)  was  killed  at  the  battle  of 
Wilson's  Creek  ;  the  twelfth  was  killed  near  Cherubusco,  Mexico  ;  the  thirteenth  died 
at  Vera  Cruz  ;  the  sixteenth  was  kiUed  at  the  battle  of  Stone  River  ;  the  twenty-second 
died  near  Corinth,  Miss.,  in  the  army  pursuing  Beauregard  ;  the  twentj'-third  (Brannan) 
was  engaged  in  fifteen  battles  ;  the  twent^'^-sixth  (Reynolds)  was  killed  at  Gettj'sburg  ; 
the  thirty-third  died  of  wounds  received  at  Molino  del  Rey  ;  the  thirty-eighth  died  of 
wounds  received  at  Sharpsburg  ;  the  thirty-ninth  was  kille4  i^t  Spottsylvania  ;  the  forty- 
eighth  was  killed  at  Chepultepec  ;  the  fiftieth  died  of  wounds  at  Mexico  ;  the  fifty- 
second  died  of  wounds  at  Mexico.  This  class  had  sixteen  generals,  of  whom  Lyon, 
Reynolds,  Wright,  Tower,  and  Brannan  were  a  part ;  two  were  killed  in  the  rebel  ser- 
vice—the Garnetts. 

I  have  taken  this  class  as  an  example,  to  show  both  what  services  were  rendered  by 
the  graduates  of  West  Point,  and  what  admirable  materials  for  history  are  here.  No 
man  can  write  history  of  any  value  without  a  most  exact  reference  to  events  and  dates  ; 
nor  can  the  history  of  the  United  States,  in  the  last  sixty  years,  be  written  well  without 
consulting  very  closely  the  records  of  West  Point. 

History  is  the  record  of  what  is  done,  and  not  the  babbling  of  orators,  or  the  verbiage 
of  literature.  I  say,  therefore,  the  Register  of  West  Point,  prepared  by  General  CuUum, 
is  a  most  invaluable  memoir  for  historj'.  It  ought  to  have  been  a  government  work. 
But  our  government  is  a  curious  affair  in  some  of  its  workings.  Look  at  the  enormous 
sums  it  spends  to  pay  Gales  &  Seaton  for  various  sorts  of  works  ;  look  at  the  thousands 
it  has  paid  for  biographies  of  Senators,  for  books,  and  this,  that,  and  the  other  thing — 
none  of  which  had  the  tenth  part  of  the  value  of  this  register.  But  let  that  pass. 
Human  justice  is  the  frailest  of  virtues.  It  always  follows  in  the  wake  of  human  sel- 
fishness, and  if  you  have  not  the  arts  of  flattery  and  importunity,  in  vain  will  you 
appeal  to  government  for  an  iota  of  justice  or  a  particle  of  consideration. 

I  hope  at  some  time  to  give  some  brief  notice  of  men  whom  I  have  known  in  my 
time,  and  whom  these  pages  partly  commemorate.  They  are  to  me  pages  of  memories 
— sad,  almost  painful  to  look  upon  ;  yet,  of  such  is  our  life  composed,  and,  as  time  goes 
on,  this  volume  of  memory  grows  larger  and  sadder.

I^vm  the  Army  and  Navy  Journal. 

For  the  last  six  years,  in  the  press,  on  the  platform,  in  Congress,  all  possible  changes 
have  been  rung  on  what  is  called  the  "disloyalty"  of  the  Military  Academy  at  West 
Point.  This  charge,  utterly  groundless,  thoroughly  ungrateful,  and  base  in  its  ingrati- 
tude, was  connected,  of  course,  with  the  very  natural  fact  that  the  best  generals  of  the 
South  {like  the  best  generals  of  the  North)  received  their  military  education  at  the 
national  school  of  arms.  As  often  as  repeated,  so  often  the  slander  has  been  repelled 
with  indignant  vehemence.  And  yet,  with  such  persistency  is  the  venomous  charge 
reitei-ated,  that,  we  presume,  half  the  people  in  the  North,  even  among  the  friends  and 
admirers  of  the  Academy,  naturally  conjecture  that  there  is  something  in  it.  As  for 
the  accusation  itself,  it  has  been  partly  urged  in  malice,  partly  by  jealousy,  but  chiefly, 
let  us  hope,  through  complete  ignorance  of  the  facts. 

Thanks  to  General  Cullum  (whose  admirable  "Biographical  Register,"  a  ten-years' 
labor,  is  such  a  monument  of  industi-y,  fidelity,  knowledge,  and  skill,  as  can  only  be 
found  among  those  literary  products  where  the  love  of  the  work  overtops  any  possible 
reward  the  result  can  furnish),  wo  have  now  the  exact  facts  and  figures  to  refute  the 
libel  upon  our  national  school,  and  we  trust  that,  in  justice,  we  shall  never  again,  not 
even  when  the  annual  approjjriation  is  to  be  made  in  Congress,  hear  of  the  "disloyalty' 
of  West  Point.     We  will  first  present  the  figures,  and  then  some  brief  comments. 

8 


From  this  careful  and  elaborate  work  it  appears  that,  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Rebellion, 
1,245  graduates  of  the  Academy  were  supposed  to  be  living,  820  being  still  in  the  Army, 
and  425  in  civil  life.  0{  the  820  in  the  Ai-my,  only  184,  or  ouli/  about  a  fifth,  joined  in 
the  Rebellion,  while  f)2(),  or  nearly  four  fifths,  remained  true  to  the  Union-^10  taking 
neither  side.  Of  the  425  in  the  civil  life,  but !)',),  or  less  than  one  fourth,  were  known 
to  have  joined  the  Rebels,  whihi  280,  or  nearly  three  times  the  latter  number,  remained 
loyal.  Tlie  careers  of  44  were  unknown  ;  but  the  proportion  remains,  doubtless,  as 
already  indicated.  In  tine,  of  the  1,245  graduates  of  the  Academy  living  at  the  outbreak 
of  the  Rebellion,  less  than  one  fourth  joined  in  the  Rebellion,  and  over  three  fourths 
were  true  to  the  Union.     And  this  is  the  record  on  which  is  raised  the  crj'  of  "disloyalty  !" 

When,  in  addition,  we  tiud  from  General  CuUum's  tables  that  of  the  280  loyal  gradu- 
ates in  civil  life,  110  re-entered  the  service,  though  half  of  them  were  beyond  the 
meridian  of  life,  and  that  of  the  remaining  170,  all  under  45  j'ears  old,  became  officers 
of  the  Regular  or  Volunteer  Ai-mies,  except  39,  who,  from  disability  and  other  causes, 
did  not  take  an  "active  part ;"  when  we  find  that  of  all  the  loyal  sons  of  West  Point 
who  served  in  the  Rebellion,  a  greater  proportion  than  one  in  three  were  wounded  in 
battle,  and  one  in  five  (an  astonishing  record)  laid  down  their  lives  in  the  same  sacred 
cause,  surely  there  should  be  an  end  to  the  cry  of  "disloyalty." 

So  much  for  the  absolute  "disloyalty"  of  this  "hot-bed  of  treason,"  this  "nest  of 
secession,"  as  fervid  stump  orators  are  sometimes  pleased  to  style  our  Military  Academy. 
Now  let  us  look  at  its  relative  "disloyalty" — its  "disloyalty,"  we  mean,  compared  with 
that  of  Congress,  of  such  colleges  as  that  at  Cambridge,  and  of  the  country  itself.  For, 
if  West  Point  be  a  hot-bed  of  disloyalty,  then  are  Cambridge,  Congress,  and  the  country 
forcing- houses  of  treason  more  fruitful  yet.  We  are  assured  by  good  authorities  that  of 
the  Southern  graduates  of  Cambridge,  residing  still  at  the  South  at  the  time  of  the 
Rebellion,  not  one  tenth  espoused  the  cause  of  the  Union,  much  less  entered  its  military 
service.  Even  in  the  border  States  they  went  for  or  against  the  Union,  in  accordance 
with  the  general  sentiment  of  their  sections.  We  have  heard  more  than  one  Harvard 
graduate  of  a  dozen  years  ago  aver  that,  after  reading  the  names  of  all  the  distinctively 
Southern  students  in  his  own  and  contiguous  classes,  he  could  not  remember  one  who 
had  joined  the  Northern  Army,  and  all  that  he  knew  anything  about  had  joined  the 
military  or  civil  service  of  the  Confederacy. 

Now  let  us  turn  to  Congress.  General  Cullum  declares  that  of  the  Senate  but  one 
member  from  the  States  that  seceded  remained  loyal,  and  of  the  House  but  three — and 
they  from  a  border  State.  All  the  rest,  scores  in  number,  went  with  the  Confederacy. 
General  Cullum  further  well  says  that  even  "the  Southern  United  States  District 
judges  sided  with  their  own  people, "  as  did  ' '  nearly  all  the  Southern  agents  of  the 
State,  Treasury.  Interior,  and  Post-Office  Departments  ;"  of  the  four  living  Presidents 
themselves,  "the  only  Southerner  joined  the  Rebels;  another  did  the  country  more 
harm  than  an  avowed  enemy;  while  the  other's  were  certainly  not  over  demonstrative 
in  their  etforts  to  preserve  the  Union."  In  one  word,  no  position  was  high  or  sacred 
enough  to  insure  the  loyalty  of  its  occupant,  no  oath  taken  or  "favors  received"  from 
the  United  States  could  retain  a  tenth  part  of  the  Southern  people.  And  as  for  the 
whole  Republic,  it  is  fresh  in  remembrance  how  it  was  rent  in  twain,  nearly  all  the 
South  going  one  way,  and  nearly  all  the  North  the  other.  Not  one  Southerner  in  ten 
remained  loyal. 

Now,  turning  to  the  Military  Academy,  what  do  we  find  ?  We  find  that  of  350  grad- 
uates born  in  or  appointed  from  slave  territory  who  were  in  the  military  service  at  the 
outbreak  of  the  Rebellion,  no  less  than  162  remained  loyal,  while  168  joined  the  Rebels. 
In  other  words,  while  in  the  colleges,  in  Congress,  in  the  country,  lo^'alty  was  so  rare 
an  exception  among  Southern  men  that  probably  not  one  in  ten  exhibited  it,  one  half  of 
the  Southern  graduates  of  the  Academy  remained  true  to  the  Union  and  fought  in  its 
behalf.  In  the  foce  of  this  record,  and  of  the  record  of  the  achievements  of  the  loyal 
half  of  the  Southern  soldiers,  headed  by  Major-General  George  H.  Thomas,  of  Virginia, 
compared  with  the  record  of  Congress,  the  colleges,  and  the  country,  shall  we  speak 
hereafter  of  the  "  disloyalty"  or  of  the  lustrous  loyalty  of  the  Academy? 

Much  praise  has  been  given,  and  deservedly,  to  Harvard,  to  Yale,  and  to  other  famous 
colleges  for  their  devotion  to  the  cause  of  the  Union.  Lowell  has  immortalized  that 
devotion  for  Harvard  in  his  magnificent  ode,  and  its  fame  has  spread  not  less  in  Europe 
than  America.  Only  the  other  day  a  London  newspaper  said,  "Harvard  sent  her 
under-graduates,  not  by  ones  and  twos,  but  by  whole  classes,  to  the  front.  These  lads, 
the  flower  and  the  jDromise  of  the  North,  laid  aside  their  books  and  took  up  the  musket, 
many  as  private  soldiers,  to  fight  for  the  cause  which  they  saw  to  be  so  precious.  Tho 
list  of  students  who  fell  by  wounds  or  illness  is  long  enough  to  make  a  famous  bead- 
roll  wherewith  to  answer  those  who  say  that  the  natural  aristocracy  of  America  holds 
aloof  from  her  destinies."  It  is  nobly  and  worthily  said  ;  but  not  less  devoted,  not  less 
loj-al,  not  less  heroic  in  battle,  were  the  children  of  West  Point,  and  their  "bead-roll" 
of  ci'diu  is  longer  and  more  illustrious.     Whereas  tho  Southern  sous  of  Harvard  plunged.

i-ilo  (lisnniou  iu  a  mass,  nearly  one  half  of  those  of  West  Point  remained  steadfast  to 
the  Union.  Have  we,  then,  all  praise  for  one  institution,  and  only  the  word  "disloj'al" 
for  the  other  ? 

True  it  is  that  the  Lees  and  Johnstons  and  Braggs  and  Beauregards  and  Long- 
streets  and  most  of  the  famous  soldiers  of  the  South  were  West  Point  graduates  ;  but 
lower  in  rank  were  Southern  Congressmen,  holders  of  the  United  States  offices  of  honor 
and  trust,  and  graduates  of  Northern  colleges  in  greater  projiortions.  It  was  the 
excellence  of  the  training  furnished  to  all  its  pupils.  Northern  and  Southern,  that  put 
the  cause  on  both  sides  completely  under  West  Point  control.  And  for  these  banes 
there  were  antidotes  in  Grant,  Sherman,  Thomas,  Meade.  Halleck,  Sheridan,  Hancock, 
and  so  on  through  all  the  grades,  from  general  down.  Were  it  our  purpose  to  go  into 
an  estimate  of  the  value  of  the  Academy  to  the  countrj',  we  should  set  forth  the  splendid 
array  of  its  great  names,  and  the  illustrious  catalogue  of  their  victories.  But  it  is 
enough  to  show  what  a  weight  of  "loyalty"  it  lent  to  the  Union.  Harvard's  devotion 
aud  loyalty  are  peerless,  and  we  are  all  proud  to  reverence  them  ;  but  if  General  Pi.  E. 
Lee  was  a  graduate  of  West  Point,  General  W.  H.  F.  Lee,  his  son,  was  a  pupil  for  two 
years  at  Harvard  ;  if  West  Point  sent  out  Beauregard,  Harvard  sent  out  a  member  of 
Beauregard's  staff.  Why  is  it  that  we  hear  impiitations  of  "lessons  of  treason" 
imbibed  at  one  place,  but  only  of  "lessons  of  loyalty"  imbibed  at  the  other? 

More  convincing  than  all  other  proofs,  perhaps,  of  the  unparalleled  loyalty  of  West 
Point  is  the  fact  mentioned  by  General  Cullum,  that  of  the  apj^ointees  from  civil  life  in 
the  Army,  at  the  beginning  of  the  Rebellion,  fully  one  Imlf  joined  the  fortunes  of  the 
Confederacy,  while  only  one  fifth,  as  we  have  seen,  of  the  West  Point  graduates  in  the 
Army  proved  disloyal.  What  do  those  say  to  this  fact,  who  are  wont  to  say  that  but 
for  West  Point  there  would  have  been  no  secession?  It  was  the  Army  ofllcers  from 
civil  life  who,  in  such  a  vastly  greater  ratio,  espoused  the  cause  of  the  Rebellion.  In 
face  of  these  accumulated  proofs  of  the  loyalty  of  the  JMilitary  Academy,  of  the  unequalled 
extent  to  which  it  held  even  its  Southern  graduates  trrie  to  the  Union,  and  the  conspic- 
uous services  it  rendered  to  the  country,  the  voice  of  detraction  should  be  shamed  into 
.silence,  and,  in  a  reaction  of  feeling,  the  long-deferred  honor  be  given  where  honor  is 
due. 


From  the  New  York  Citizen. 

General  Cullum's  work  is  valuable  for  two  distinct  reasons :  It  is  of  great  use  and 
interest  to  army  men,  and  it  fully  vindicates  West  Point  from  the  foolish  charge  of 
being  a  nursery  of  treason. 

During  the  early  part  of  the  war,  a  portion  of  the  Northern  press  became  impatient 
becarise  our  armies  did  not  at  once  achieve  crushing  victories  ;  and  calling  to  mind  the 
fact  that  the  Southern  armies  were  chiefly  led  by  West  Point  men,  rashly  concluded 
that  the  West  Point  element,  both  in  the  Rebel  and  Federal  armies,  was  either  hostile 
or  lukewarm  to  the  Union  cause.  The  fact  that  Lee,  Longstreet,  Jackson,  and  the 
Hills  were  graduates  of  the  Military  Academy,  was  made  so  prominent  that  the  jjeople 
began  to  believe  that  the  majority  of  the  graduates  had  joined  the  rebellion.  Long 
before  the  war  was  over,  the  true  state  of  the  case  became  iully  known.  The  loj-alty  of 
the  great  majority  of  the  West  Point  men  was  established  Vjeyond  controversy,  and  the 
fact  that  the  leaders  under  whom  the  rebellion  was  finally  crushed  were  originally 
educated  at  the  much-sneered-at  Military  Academy,  convinced  the  people  that  West 
Point  was  not  the  irseless  institution  which  some  had  hastily  proclaimed  it. 

General  Cullum,  by  the  inexorable  logic  of  statistics,  shows  the  falsity  of  the  charges 
against  the  loyalty  of  the  West  Point  officers.  Only  twenty-threo  per  cent,  of  the  gradu- 
ates entered  the  Rebel  service.  One  half  of  those  appointed  from  Southern  States 
remained  loyal,  and  of  the  loyal  graduates  one  fifth  were  killed  in  defence  of  the  ilag 
under  which  they  were  educated,  and  fully  one  half  were  wounded  in  the  same  noble 
cause.  These  figures  need  no  comment,  but  prove  conclusively  that  West  Point  was 
never,  in  any  sense,  a  nursery  of  treason. 

Of  the  admirable  manner  in  which  General  Cullum  has  contrived  to  condense  the 
military  and  civil  history  of  each  of  the  two  thousand  two  hundred  and  eighteen  grad- 
uates into  these  two  volumes,  it  is  not  easy  to  speak  too  highly.  The  date  of  appoint- 
ment and  graduation  of  each  cadet,  the  date  of  his  several  commissions  or  brevets,  the 
campaigns  in  which  he  served,  ana  the  places  to  which  he  was  appointed  or  detailed 
for  duty,  the  names  and  dates  of  the  engagements  in  which  he  participated,  and  iu  too 
many  instances  the  record  of  his  death,  are  given  with  the  utmost  brevity  consistent 
with  clearness.  The  author  has  displayed  organizing  abilities  of  a  high  order  in  the 
arrangement  of  his  Register,  and  a  degree  of  care  aud  industry  that  reminds  one  of  the 
elaborate  thoroughness  which  he  displayed  during  the  war.         «  «  *  « 

The  Register  will  be  indispensable  to  every  army  man,  and  to  any  one  who  wishes  to 
understand  the  true  worth  of  the  West  Point  Academy.

From  "  The  Great  liepnbUr,"  W-islitajtrin,  D.  C. 

General  Cnllnm's  ]iio<Tr,iphical  Kegister  embmces  some  2,503  militnvy  Ijio'^raphies, 
carefully  i-ompiled  trom  the  most  aullieutic  sources,  and  are  arranged  according  to  the 
several  classes  of  graduates  since  the  establishment  of  the  institution,  in  l.S()2.  Among 
the  long  roll  of  graduates,  we  miss,  of  cours3.  the  names  of  such  volunteer  heroes  as 
Logan,  Sickles.  Farnsworth.  (J-arlield,  and  others  ;  but  in  tlio  military  biographies  of 
such  soldiers  as  Grant.  Sherman,  Sheridan,  and  George  H.  Thomas,  of  Hooker,  Burn- 
side.  Meade,  and  Pope,  of  Mansfield,  Richardson.  ^IcPherson,  and  Howard,  of  Griffin, 
McGook,  Heintzleman,  and  Kilpatrick,  and  in  the  statistics  and  tables  of  battles  and 
other  military  matters  relating  to  the  rebellion,  are  embraced  an  interesting  and  an- 
thentic  military  record  of  the  battles  and  grand  military  triumphs  of  our  thousands  of 
volunteer  heroes  against  the  common  foe. 

General  GuUum.  himself  a  graduate  of  West  Point,  is  manifestly  a  loj'al  man.  and 
clo.ses  the  biography  of  all  the  rebel  graduates  in  1860-61,  with  the  pregnant  remark  in 
every  case  :  "/le  joined  (he  rebellion."  We  are  gratified,  too,  to  notice  the  many  evi- 
dences in  the  able  preface  to  the  work,  of  how  warmly  he  feels  the  charge  against  ^Vest 
Point  as  a  nursery  of  treason  ;  nor  are  we  displeased  with  his  eloquent  etibrts  to  rebut 
and  disprove  the  charge.  He  shows  by  his  statistics  that  162  Southern  graduates 
joined  the  Union  forces,  and  bravely  battled  against  secession  and  rebellion.  These, 
although  cradled  and  reared  in  State  allegiance,  he  claims,  were  rescued  from  treason 
by  West  Point  influences,  resisting  every  appeal  of  relative  and  friend  to  swerve  them 
from  loyalty  and  duty,  and  with  all  Northern  officers  (save  sixteen,  who  dishonored 
their  alma  mater),  and  110  graduates  from  civil  lite,  who  rejoined  the  military  service, 
bravely  fought  the  good  fight  for  the  Union.  While  one  fourth  of  the  officers  of 
the  navy  on  the  active  list  resigned  or  were  dismissed  in  1860-61,  and,  being  South- 
erners, probably  joined  the  rebellion,  he  shows  that  nearly  four  fif I  hs  of  the  West  Point 
graduates  remained  foithful  to  their  oaths  of  allegiance  ;  that  one  half  of  those  from  the 
South  stood  firm  by  the  stars  and  stripes  ;  that  in  the  battles  of  the  Union,  one  fifth  of 
those  engaged  laid  down  their  lives,  and  that  more  than  one  third,  probably  one  half, 
were  wounded,  while  the  survivors  can  point  with  manly  pride  to  their  services  for  the 
preservation  of  the  nation. 

Thus  he  warmly  defends  his  institution,  and  asks  :  Can  any  other  college  or  semi- 
nary of  learning  in  the  land— can  Harvard,  Yale,  Columbia,  Union,  or  Princeton— all 
of  whose  Southern  students  en  masse  joined  the  rebellion— show  a  higher  record  of 
patriotism  or  sacrifice  ? 

But  in  nothing  does  he  decry  or  attempt  to  detract  from,  the  merits  and  services  of 
our  gallant  volunteers.  He  praises  them'highly.  After  eloquently  arguing  the  impor- 
tance of  a  military  education  from  the  light  furnished  by  the  history  of  ancient  and 
modern  warfare,  and  the  lives  of  the  great  captains  of  ancient  and  modern  times— of 
Cajsar  and  Hannibal,  of  Napoleon,  Marlborough,  and  Washington— and  showing  that 
knowledge  and  experience  have  in  all  ages  been  th?  elements  of  success,  that  these  can 
only  be  obtained  either  from  actual  service  in  the  field,  at  a  cost  of  the  blood  of  thou- 
sands, or  in  seminaries  of  learning  like  that  of  West  Point,  and  that  it  is  far  wiser,  and 
certainly  more  humane,  to  obtain  them  through  the  latter,  he  concludes  his  preface 
with  the  following  eulogy  on  our  volunteer  heroes  : 

"  All  honor  to  our  patriotic  and  gallant  volunteers  who,  from  the  bar,  the  farm,  the 
counting  house,  the  workshop,  and  every  sphere  of  life,  rushed  at  the  sound  of  the  first 
hostile  gun  fired  in  the  rebelliau.  to  their  country's  defence  !  Their  self-sacrifice  in 
giving  up  lucrative  positions  and  the  comforts  of  home  for  the  privations  of  camp,  their 
intelligence  in  meeting  the  difficult  requirements  of  their  new  vocations,  their  endur- 
ance through  long  marches  and  weary  campaigns,  their  steadfastness  in  the  darkest 
hours  of  disasters,  their  valor  on  the  battle  field  or  in  the  deadly  assault,  their  modera- 
tion when  victory  had  assured  our  success,  and  their  return  as  peaceful  citizens  to  a 
cordial  submission  to  the  laws  of  their  preserved  country,  are  worthy  of  all  commenda- 
tion. Doubtless  none  more  than  they  felt  and  appreciated  the  great  value  of  military 
education  and  experience  as  essential  adjuncts  to  a  natural  genius  for  war  in  forming 
the  great  captain." 


From  the  Keio  York  Evening  Post. 

It  is  not  every  year  that  so  valuable  a  book  appears  as  the  "  Biographical  Register  of 
the  Officers  and  Graduates  of  the  United  States  Military  Academy,"  edited  by  General 
George  W.  Cullum.  Of  course,  the  paramount  interest  of  this  book  is  for  those  whose 
names  figure  on  its  pages,  and  for  their  friends  ;  but  it  is  also  an  important  contribution 
to  the  history  of  the  country.  General  Cullum  has  been  indefixtigablc  in  his  exertions 
to  make  the  work  accurate  and  complete.         ....•• 

General  Cullum  adds  that  "the  entire  cost  of  educating  the  whole  of  the  seceding 
graduates,  in  money,  was  not  more  than  was  saved  by  the  military  knowledge  of  its 
(West  Point's)  loyal  graduates  on  every  da;/  of  tke  rebellion."

From  the  New  York  National  Freemason. 

This  is  uot  a  work  of  brief  labor,  but  of  many  years  of  persevering  toil.  Official  and 
private  sources  of  information  have  been  exhausted  to  make  it  accurate  and  complete. 
The  General  truly  says  :  "Archives  have  been  ransacked,  tons  of  manuscript  examined, 
letters  by  thousands  written,  and  interrogatories  almost  countless  put  wherever  a  hope 
of  gleaning  any  information  at  all  reliable  existed." 

The  preface  is  a  complete  vindication  of  the  West  Point  Academy  from  all  aspersions. 
Its  reference  to  the  great  warrior  Masons  of  the  world — Washington,  Napoleon,  Fred- 
erick, Gustavus,  Tui'enne,  Eugene.  Kosciusko — is  flattering  to  the  fraternity. 

From  its  statistical  tables  we  learn  that  cadets  were  first  ai^pointed  in  1802.  There 
were  but  two,  one  from  Maryland  and  one  from  Massachusetts.  In  civil  life  thei-e  have 
been  3  members  of  the  cabinet  of  the  United  States  ;  7  ministers  to  foreign  courts  ;  12 
members  of  Congress  ;  5  Governors  of  States  ;  132  presidents  and  professors  of  colleges  ; 
138  presidents,  chief  engineers,  and  superintendents  of  railroads  ;  75  authors. 

There  were  70  battles  fought  in  the  war  of  1812-15  with  Great  Britain  ;  166  in  the 
Indian  wars  ;  48  in  the  war  with  Mexico  ;  500  in  the  recent  conflict,  in  all  which  the 
graduates  of  the  Academy  participated. 

The  position  of  all  the  forts,  arsenals,  and  military  posts  i.s  given,  and  a  pei-fect 
register  of  the  officers  of  the  Academy  from  March  16,  1802,  to  July  1,  1867,  making 
837  in  all— among  whom  we  notice  many  devoted  Freemasons. 

Then  follows  the  carefulh'  prepared  record  of  the  services  and  promotions  of  the 
officers  of  the  United  States  Military  Academy,  making  2,218  in  number. 

The  first  graduate,  Joseph  G.  Swift,  was  born  in  and  appointed  from  Massachusetts. 
His  militarj'  and  subsequent  career  was  honorable.  General  Cullum  says  of  him  : 
"Amiable  and  sincere,  spotless  in  integritj',  staunch  in  friendship,  liberal  in  charity, 
General  Swift  was  a  model  gentleman,  a  true  patriot,  and  Christian  soldier  (we  add,  and 
consistent  Freemason),  worthy  of  the  imitation  of  all  who,  like  him,  would  live  honored 
and  revered,  and  die  universally  regretted. " 

Another  craftsman  we  notice,  Jonathan  Williams,  born  in  Massachusetts,  and 
appointed  from  Pennsylvania.  During  the  Ptevohitionary  War  he  resided  in  Europe, 
being  the  private  secretary  to  his  relative,  Di'.  Franklin  (the  Master  of  the  first  Lodge 
in  Pennsylvania),  on  his  mission  to  France.  Appointed  in  the  army  with  the  rank  of 
major,  he  assumed  the  superintendency  of  the  Academy,  and  accepted  various  high 
military  and  civil  positions. 

Space  fails  us  even  to  mention  the  names  of  the  hundreds  of  Freemasons,  whose 
memories  will  be  preserved  through  the  means  of  this  elaborate  work. 

The  graduates  of  West  Point,  their  families  and  friends,  and,  indeed,  the  whole 
nation,  will  gratefully  remember  General  Cullum  for  his  patriotic  work.  No  American 
library,  private  or  public,  can  be  complete  without  these  volumes. 


From  the  Boston  Daily  Advertiser. 

So  much  has  been  said,  and  falsely  said,  of  the  disloyalty  of  the  graduates  of  West 
Point,  that  a  few  facts  gleaned  from  Geuei'al  CuUum's  recently  published  Biographical 
Register  of  the  Officers  and  Graduates  of  our  Military  Academj',  will  be  read  with 
interest.  The  carefully  prepared  tables  show  that  of  the  1,215  graduates  supposed  to 
be  living  at  the  beginning  of  1861,  99  from  civil  life  and  181  from  the  army  joined  in 
the  rebellion,  or  less  than  twenty-three  per  cent.  And  if  two  thirds  of  those  whose 
loyalty  or  disloyalty  is  unknown  are  added,  it  would  still  appear  that  more  than  three 
fourths  of  the  graduates  remained  faithful  to  the  Union.        .... 

Of  those  graduates  who  were  in  the  military  service  of  the  United  States  during  the 
rebellion,  more  than  one  half  held  volunteer  commissions.  Of  the  graduates  who 
served  in  the  battles  of  the  late  war,  one  fifth  lost  their  lives  for  their  countrj-,  and 
more  than  one  third  were  wounded. 

General  Cullum  is  earnest  in  his  defence  of  the  Academy  against  the  charge  of  dis- 
loyalty, and  makes  some  pertinent  inqiiiries,  as  when  he  asks  why  Congress,  the 
Supreme  Court,  and  the  colleges  are  not  equally  accused  of  being  nurseries  of  treason  ; 
or  when  he  asks  whether  it  is  more  disreputable  to  forsake  the  flag  beneath  which  the 
'graduate  has  been  reared,  than  to  stain  the  ermine  of  the  Supreme  Court  with  the  crime 
of  treason  ;  or  when  he  asks  whether  the  makers  of  the  laws.  Southern  Senators  and 
Representatives,  who  trampled  the  Constitution  under  foot,  were  not  as  guilty  when 
violating  their  oaths  as  the  graduates  of  the  Military  Academy.  The  General  asserts, 
and  we  believe  he  is  correct,  that  the  Southern  graduates  of  Northern  colleges  espoused 
the  Rebel  cause  almost  en  masse,  while  West  Point,  by  the  antidote  of  its  loyal  teachings, 
saved  one  half  of  its  Southern  i)upils,  who,  from  infancy  to  manhood,  before  they 
entered  the  Academy,  had  breathed  the  poisoned  air  of  secession.  These  arc  points  to 
be  noticed,  and  with  the  author  we  would  do  all  honor  to  the  noble  band  of  1(J2  gradu- 
ates, who,  cradled  and  reared  in  the  atmosphere  of  State  rights,  in  the  hour  of  trial 
proved  true  to  their  country. 


F)-om  Harper  s  Weekly. 

The  recm'cl  published  by  General  Cullnm  of  the  military  and  nther  important  opera- 
tions of  the  graduates  of  West  Point,  constitutes  the  best  defence  of  that  institution 
which  could  have  been  made.  It  appears  that  over  2,200  cadets  have  graduated  from 
1802  to  and  iucludinj;'  the  class  of  1867.  Among  the  names  not  distinguished  in  war 
we  observ(^  those  of  Sylvanus  Thayer,  long  the  head  of  the  institution  ;  of  llobert  P. 
Parrott,  who  devised  the  Parrott  gun  ;  of  George  W.  Whistler,  the  celebrated  railroad 
engineer,  lately  employed  in  llussia  ;  and  of  Alexander  D.  Bache,  one  of  the  ablest 
rejiresentatives  of  science  which  this  country  has  produced. 

Washington,  in  his  message  of  Dec<^mber,  1793.  against  the  expressed  opinion  of 
Jefterson,  recommended  what  Jefferson  called  a  military  academy.  "I  opposed  it," 
says  Jefterson  in  his  diary,  "as  unconstitutional.  Hamilton  and  Knox  approved  it 
without  discussion.  Randolph  was  for  it,  saying  that  the  words  of  the  Constitution 
authorizing  Congress  to  lay  taxes,  etc.,  for  the  common  defence  might  comprehend  it. 
The  President  said  he  would  not  choose  to  recommend  anything  against  the  Constitu- 
tion, but  if  it  were  doubtful  he  was  so  impressed  with  the  necessity  of  the  measure  that 
he  wcmld  report  it  to  Congress,  and  let  them  decide  for  themselves  whether  the  Consti- 
tution authorized  it  or  not.     It  was  therefore  left  in." 

In  ^lay,  1794,  Congress  expressed  itself  favorably  to  its  Constitutionality.  In  1796 
Washington  again  presented  the  stibject  to  the  attention  of  Congress.  But  it  was  not 
until  March.  1802.  that  West  Point  was  selected  for  this  purpose.  Mr.  McHenry,  the 
Secretary  of  War  under  Adams,  had  urged  the  matter  so  fully  and  forcibly  in  his  annual 
report  in  ISOO,  that  its  organization  on  a  limited  scale  took  place.  Jefterson,  in  1803, 
waiving  his  constitutional  scruples,  proposed  an  augmentation  of  the  institution  and  its 
removal  to  the  then  seat  of  Government,  a  suggestion  which  fortunately  was  not 
adopted. 

It  is  generally  conceded  that  the  great  efftciency  of  West  Point  is  due  to  the  aiTange- 
ments  made  during  the  administration  of  Mr.  IMonroe,  which  extended  from  March  4, 
1817,  to  March  4,  1825.  General  Sylvanus  Thayer,  in  July,  1817,  then  Major,  became  its 
Superintendent,  after  having  examined  the  military  schools  and  establishments  of 
Europe,  which  he  visited  on  the  termination  of  their  great  conflict,  and  was  the  instru- 
ment for  carrying  into  full  effect  the  intentions  of  the  Government.  In  Major. Thayer 
there  was  a  fortunate  union  of  those  qualities  which  produce  severe  discipline  and  afford 
the  requisite  scope  and  breadth  to  military  education.  Shortly  after  Major  Thayer's 
appointment  John  C.  Calhoun  became  Secretary  of  War,  which  position  he  held  until 
March,  1825. 

West  Point  had  contributed  to  the  war  of  1812  but  few  officers  of  great  distinction  — 
General  Scott  was  not  a  graduate — and  as  Mr.  Calhoun  had  been  in  Congress  during 
that  struggle,  and  had  a  mind  peculiarly  fitted  for  organization,  his  first  care  on  enter- 
ing the  War  Department  was  to  unite  with  Major  Thayer  to  jilace  West  Point  on  the 
best  footing  possible  to  enable  the  country  to  wage  successful  war.  Mr.  Moni-oe's 
administration  was  the  last  of  those  that  received  their  impress  from  the  Picvolution. 
It  was  composed  of  statesmen  selected  not  because  of  any  partisan  tendencies,  but  for 
their  supposed  great  ability  and  tried  patriotism.  It  is  not  too  much  to  say,  that  there 
was  unquestioned  purity  and  fidelity  and  generally  a  high  tone  of  honor  in  all  the 
departments  during  Mr.  Monroe's  term,  and  it  is  fortunate  that  West  Point  received  the 
impression  of  a  new  and  powerful  impulse  from  that  administration.  It  has  been 
treasured  by  the  Professors — who  legard  their  honor  as  the  brightest  jewel — and  trans- 
mitted to  successive  classes  until  it  reached  the  distinguished  actors  in  the  last  great 
struggle,  in  which  they  conferred  renown  on  the  whole  country. 

If  Mr.  Calhoun's  doctrine  of  the  right  of  mtllification  and  secession,  announced  long 
after  his  connection  with  Mr.  Monroe's  administration,  contributed  to  produce  the 
rebellion,  which  it  tinquestiouably  did,  though  he  claimed  that  this  was  not  his  motive, 
he  had  also  provided  a  remedy  in  elevating  West  Point  into  great  efficiency.  In  one  of 
his  early  reports  as  Secretary  of  War  he  said  : 

"It  ought  never  to  be  forgotten  that  niilitorj' science  in  the  present  condition  of 
the  world  cannot  be  neglected  with  impunity.  It  has  become  so  complicated  and 
extensive  as  to  require  for  its  acquisition  extensive  means  and  much  time  to  be  exclu- 
sively devoted  to  it.  It  can  only  flourish  under  the  jiatronage  of  the  Government,  and 
without  such  patronage  it  must  be  almost  Mholly  neglected.  A  comparatively  small 
sum  expended  in  time  of  peace  to  foster  and  extend  the  knowledge  of  military  science, 
will,  in  the  event  of  war,  be  highly  beneficial  to  the  country,  and  may  be  the  means  of 
its  safety. " 

The  Chief  Engineer  in  1822  reported  "  that  the  Military  Academy  may  be  considered 
as  having  been  in  its  infancy  until  aboi;t  the  beginning  of  1818,  prior  to  which  time 
there  was  but  little  system  or  regularity  ;"  and  he  adcled,  that  a  large  portion  of  the 
students  "have  been  under  the  necessity  of  leaving  the  Academy  without  completing 

13 


their  edncation."  The  siippoi-t  given  to  the  institiitiou  by  Mr.  Calhoun,  aucl  the  pow- 
erful efforts  of  Major  Thayer,  enabled  Mr.  Calhoun  to  speak  of  the  institution  iu 
December,  1823,  as  "not  iufenor  io  any  sUnUar  institution  in  any  country." 

The  Southern  tendencies  of  Mr.  Calhoun  were  indicated  even  at  this  early  day  by  a 
recommendation  to  establish  another  institution  of  like  character  iu  the  .Sviutheru 
States  ;  but  it  is  fortunate  that  the  recommendation  was  not  adopted,  as  both  would 
have  been  more  or  less  sectional,  whereas  tlie  important  fact  that  a  large  number  of 
those  educated  at  West  Point  from  the  Southern  States  remained  true  to  the  Union- 
General  George  H.  Thcmias  is  the  most  signal  instance— proves  that  the  iutluence  of  the 
institution  was  not  as  unfortunate  as  has  been  often  alleged. 

A  curious  examiner  into  the  law  of  compensation  will  find  in  the  far-seeing  circum- 
spection and  sagacity  of  Mr.  Calhoun  as  Secretary  of  "War,  and  in  the  policy  of  nullifi- 
cation and  secession  to  which  he  was  subsequently  committed — the  good  a  partial 
remedy  for  the  evil — much  to  interest  him  in  weigliing  and  comparing  these  different 
measures.  Certain  it  is  that  it  required  the  exercise  of  forethought  and  diligence  at 
this  earl}'  period  to  prepare  for  a  war  that  happened  only  about  thirty-six  years  after 
Mr.  Monroe's  administration  had  ceased.  The  term  of  Mr.  Adams,  which  succeeded, 
was  not  favorable  for  such  improvonipnt,  as  supplies  were  rigidly  withheld  and  party 
spirit  ran  high.  Nor  was  the  term  of  General  Jackson  favorable  for  that  purpose,  as  he. 
was  an  improvised  soldier,  not  especially  friendly  io  West  Point,  and  there  were  other 
subjects  to  engage  the  attention  of  his  Cabinet,  arising  from  the  violence  of  party  action 
during  his  whole  term. 

Retieetion  will  perhaps  show  us  that  the  organization  of  West  Point,  on  a  basis  such 
as  would  ennoble  the  country  to  conduct  war  M'ith  the  highest  skill,  could  have  taken 
place  at  no  period  with  such  advantage  ns  during  the  administration  of  President 
Monroe,  and  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  C^cneral  OuUum,  in  a  work  so  valuable  and  likely 
to  be  so  enduring,  shoujd  have  omitted,  in  his  able  pref;ice,  to  trace  to  their  true  cause, 
so  far  as  external  management  is  concerned,  the  good  resirlts  in  skill  and  science,  and. 
what  is  equally  important,  iu  honor  and  patriotism,  among  the  officers  of  West  Point 
which  the  war  developed,  and  which  have  rendered  that  institixtion  hereafter  safe. 

It  needed  a  concurrence  in  both  the  excellence  of  the  instruction  imparted  and  Ih:; 
peculiar  relatioii  of  the  students  to  render  the  efTficiency  of  the  institution  completi'. 
The  cadets  instead  of  paying  are  i:)aid,  and  are  the  subjects  of  military  rule.  While  i  i 
our  colleges  there  is  some  yielding  on  the  part  of  their  professors  to  pecuniary  interests, 
such  interests  as  between  professors  and  cadets  in  no  manner  interfere  M'ith  the  eflforn 
made  at  West  Point  to  render  military  education  complete,  and  to  impress  upon  it  a 
character  of  nationality. 


From  the  Xeio  York  Evening  Post. 
The  Cost  and  Peofit  of  West  Point. 

General  Cullum's  Biographical  Register  of  West  Point,  of  which  we  spoke  a  few  days 
ago,  has  some  interesting  particulars  of  the  services  which  the  West  Point  Academy 
has  done  the  country. 

The  establishment  of  a  military  school  was  one  of  the  hobbies  of  General  Washing- 
ton. During  the  war  for  independence  he  had  learned  the  practical  importance  of 
thorough  military  education.  Congress,  in  that  struggle,  was  compelled  to  ask  Louis 
XVI.  for  engineers  ;  and  General  Charles  Lee  said,  with  his  habitual  sneer,  that  there 
was  not  an  officer  in  the  Continental  army  who  knew  "the  difference  betwixt  a  chcval- 
de-frise  and  a  cabbage  garden."  Every  one  recognizes  the  greatness  of  our  debt  to 
Steuben,  Kosciusko,  and  others,  who  gave  us  the  benefit  of  their  study  and  training  in 
the  European  wars.  Some  of  our  own  officers  were,  perhaps,  a  little  jealous  of  their 
more  accomplished  comrades  of  foreigh  birth,  but  Washington  did  not  share  the  feel- 
ing ;  in  his  last  annual  message  to  Congress  he  forcibly  reiterated  his  conviction  that 
the  covmtry  should  train  up  a  class  of  such  officers  taken  from  among  our  own  youth  : 
'•Whatever  arguments  may  be  drawn  from  particular  examples,  superficially  viewed,  a 
thorough  examination  of  the  subject  will  evince  that  the  art  of  war  is  both  compre- 
hensive and  complicated  ;  that  it  demands  much  previous  study,  and  that  the  posses- 
sion of  it  in  its  most  improved  and  perfect  state,  is  always  of  great  moment  to  the 
security  of  a  nation.  This,  therefore  ought  to  be  a  serious  care  of  every  government, 
and  for  this  purpose  an  academy,  where  a  regular  course  of  instruction  is  given,  is  an 
obvious  experiment  which  different  nations  have  successfully  employed." 

The  bill  for  the  erection  of  a  Military  Academy  of  the  United  States,  was  reported  to 
the  House  of  Picpresentatives,  March  19,  1800,  by  Mr.  Harrison  G.  Otis,  of  Massachu- 
setts ;  Mr.  Nathaniel  Macon,  of  North  Carolina,  moved  that  the  bill  be  rejected  ;  the 
motion  was  lost  ;  but  a  few  days  later,  Mr.  Joseph  Egglestou,  of  Virginia,  procured  the 

14 


postponement  of  tlie  bill  by  a  vote  of  sixty-four  to  twenty-'three.  It  was  not  until  1802 
that  the  measure  became  ii  law. 

The  Academy,  however,  hatl  only  the  cold  shoulder  of  the  admiuistratiou  which  in 
the'  mean  time  had  come  into  power,  and  its  early  yeai-s  were  not  verj*  prosperous.  The 
result  of  this  policy  was,  that  when  the  second  war  with  England  broke  out,  there  were 
bnt  sixty-five  West  Point  men  in  the  service.  In  the  course  of  that  war  the  record  of 
the  tirst  two  j'eara  shows  in  the  army  Uttle  but  bad  generalshii),  blunders,  and  defeats. 
Americans,  however,  learn  war  rapidly  in  the  field,  and  the  last  campaigns  were  mor3 
ci'editable  to  our  arms.  In  these  campaigns  West  Point  men  took  a  conspicuous  part. 
Of  those  in  active  service,  one  sixth  were  killed,  one  twelfth  were  wotinded,  and  one- 
tifth  of  those  who  survived  received  one  or  more  brevets  for  gallantry  and  meritoriotis 
conduct. 

During  the  thirtj"^  years  which  followed  the  close  of  this  war,  the  officers  of  the 
regular  arm}'  were  employed  in  fighting  the  Indians,  a  training  which,  although  useful, 
was  yet  very  incomplete.  At  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  with  Mexico,  five  hundred 
graduates  of  the  Academy  were  in  the  service,  and  many  others  re-entered  it  from  the 
occupations  of  civil  life.  In  this  war  the  utility  of  military  education  was  strikinglj' 
proved.  In  less  than  a  j-ear  and  a  half  our  small  army  in  Mexico  won  thirty  battles, 
took  forty  thousand  prisoners,  a  thousand  cannon,  besides  an  immense  amount  of 
small  arms  and  munitions  of  war,  ten  fortified  places,  and  the  capital  of  the  enemy, 
and  acquired  tenitorj-  for  the  country  which  now  yields  every  j'ear  a  revenue  ecpial  to 
three  times  the  whole  cost  of  the  contest.  General  Scott,  himself  not  a  West  Point 
graduate,  thus  summed  up  the  le.ssous  of  this  war  :  "I  give  it  as  my  fixed  opinion  that, 
but  for  our  graduated  cadets,  the  war  between  the  United  States  and  Mexico  might, 
and  probably  would,  have  lasted  some  four  or  five  years,  within  its  first  half  more  de- 
feat than  victories  falling  to  our  share." 

These  two  brilliant  campaigns  gave  an  extravagant  fame  to  the  Militaij'  Academy, 
which  at  the  breaking  out  of  the  rebellion,  worked  to  its  injury.  The  people  expected 
impossibilities  of  it.  In  General  Cullum's  words,  "the  youthful  graduates,  who  per- 
haps had  never  commanded  a  larger  force  than  a  company,  or  a  battalion,  were  expected 
at  once  to  lead  vast  armies  of  undisciplined  troops  through  unknown  morasses  and 
tangled  wildernesses  to  assured  victory."  It  was  inevitable  that  the  popular  expecta- 
tion should  be  disappointed,  and  that  West  Point  should  thereupon  be  as  extravagantly 
decried  as  it  had  been  extravagantly  lauded.  In  this  reaction  of  pubhc  feeling,  the  fact 
that  the  rebel  armies  were  led  by  West  Point  men  was  argued  with  pertinacity  as  an 
additional  argument  against  the  usefulness  of  the  Academy. 

But  as  the  war  went  on  West  Point  men  steadily  replaced  the  officers  appointed  from 
ci\-il  life  in  the  higher  commands.  Men  who  before  had  hard  experience  only  in 
petty  war,  learned  with  wonderful  facility  to  practise  grand  strategy,  and  successfully 
conduct  campaigns  of  unparalleled  diflicvtltj'  and  importance.  Grant  and  Sherman 
reached  their  j^roper  places.  The  annals  of  the  last  years  of  the  war  justify  General 
Cullum's  boast  that  the  "cost  of  educating  the  whole  of  the  seceding  graduates  was 
not  more  than  was  saved  by  the  military  knowledge  of  loyal  graduates  on  every  day  of 
the  rebellion.  ' 

The  West  Point  Academy  has  given  the  country  between  two  and  three  thou'and  edu- 
cated officers  ;  has  procured  for  our  army  a  world-wide  reputation  ;  and,  at  the  brea;:- 
ing  out  of  the  rebellion,  it  kept  nearly  one  half  its  Southern  graduates  loyal  to  their 
coimtry  ;  yet  it  has  never  received,  in  any  single  year,  an  appropriation  larger  than  is 
required  to  maintain  a  squadron  of  cavalry  ;  and  has  not  cost  the  country,  from  1802 
to  the  present  time,  a  greater  sum  than  was  spent  in  any  shvjle  week  of  the  last  years  of 
the  rebellion. 


From  the  New  York  Times. 

We  know  of  no  single  contribution  to  the  military  histoiy  of  the  nation  so  rich  in 
invaluable  data  and  so  essential  to  the  futitre  histoiian  or  student  of  American  history 
as  the  volumes  with  the  above  title.  The  author,  a  distinguished  officer  of  the  Engi- 
neers, and  lately  Superintendent  of  the  Academj',  is  himself  an  cleceoithe  "  Cheri.shed 
AJnia  3Iater,"  with  which  he  has  been  many  years  immediately  connected  as  "lu- 
Rtnictor  of  Practical  Engineering,"  and  more  recently  as  its  Stiijerinlendent.  Devoted 
to  his  corps,  to  the  Academy,  and  to  the  honor  of  the  service  to  which  the  Military 
Academy  is  so  important  an  adjunct ;  admirably  qualified  by  study  of  the  exact  sciences 
and  of  the  best  ancient  and  modern  histories,  and  b}-  natural  and  mental  endowments 
for  labors  of  profound  research  and  patient  investigation,  the  graduates  of  the  Ae.ulemj' 
are  indeed  fortunate  in  their  military  biographer.  Porno  institution  in  the  world  does 
there  exist  so  full  and  complete  a  record  of  its  officers,  teachers,  and  graduates,  as  wo 
now  have  for  the  United  States  Military  Academy. 

15 


The  execution  of  this  lask  has  beeu  by  no  means  an  official  duty,  but  was  uudeiiakeu 
ratlicr  in  payment  of  a  debt  of  gratitude  to  the  author's  ^l/airt  J/ato",  which  had  bestowed 
upon  him  a  vaUxable  education  and  habits  of  usefuhiess. 

It  was.  we  beheve,  as  kmg  back  as  the  year  1S4S,  that  the  then  Superintendent  of  the 
Jlilitary  Academy,  Capt.  (now  Brevet  Biig. -General)  Henry  Brewertou,  believing  that 
a  period  had  arrived  when  some  formal  and  complete  record  of  the  services  of  the 
numerous  graduates  which  the  institution  had  matriculated  during  the  many  years  of 
its  existence,  would  be  not  only  a  convincing  evidence  of  its  usefulness,  but  a  most 
valuable  book  of  reference,  adopted  the  idea  of  a  M'ork  which  should  be  not  only  a 
"Register  "  of  the  names  and  dates  of  appointment  and  graduation  of  all  the  graduates, 
but  a  brief  record  of  their  promotions  in  the  army  or  of  their  occupations  in  civil  life 
after  graduation.  The  author  was  then  Instructor  of  Practical  Engineering  at  the 
Academy.  The  task  was  first  assigned  to  other  hands,  but  it  soon  became  evident  that 
it  was  an  undertaking  to  execute  which,  thoroughly  and  fittingly,  but  few  possessed  the 
requisite  qualifications  or  habits  of  mind,  and  almost  natixrally,  we  may  say,  it  soon 
devolved  upon  him.  "The Register  of  the  Officers  and  Graduates  of  the  United  States 
Military  Academy,"  from  1802  to  1850,  was  thus  the  germ  of  the  present  important  work, 
and,  valuable  as  it  was,  yet,  as  compared  with  the  book  before  us,  it  is  as  the  acorn  to 
the  fully  developed  oak. 

These  remarks  we  deem  appropriate,  that  the  reader  may  fully  understand  that  these 
volumes  are  not  hasty  gatherings  together  of  such  notes  as  could  be  speedily  laid 
hands  on,  but  an  ordinary  life's  labor  of  an  author  peculiarly  qualified  for  his  task. 

That  it  was  a  herculean  one  may  be  judged  from  the  author's  own  account  of  it  in 
his  preface.         .......... 

That  by  such  an  amount  of  patient  labor  alone  could  such  a  task  be  fittinglj'  accom- 
plished, is  evident  from  the  statement,  by  tlie  author,  of  its  character  and  scope.     .     . 

We  have  devoted  so  much  space  to  setting  forth  the  origin  and  character  of  the  work 
that  we  can  spare  little  to  treating  of  the  actual  contents  ;  the  resum6  we  have  just  made 
will  leave,  however,  no  room  for  doubt,  we  think,  as  to  its  invaluable  characteristics.  No- 
where else  can  such  an  epitome  of  materials  for  our  country's  military  history  be 
found  ;  none  who  would  be  familiar  with  that  history  should  be  without  it,  and  certainly 
no  one  who  has  a  relative  or  dear  friend  a  graduate  of  the  Military  Academy,  or  who 
has  been  much  associated  with  men  and  things  connected  with  our  military  service, 
can  well  dispense  with  these  volumes. 

We  cannot  close  this  notice  without  calling  attention  to  the  author's  triumphant  vin- 
dication of  the  graduates  and  of  the  Academy  from  the  charge  of  ' '  disloyalty. "  Here 
by  accurate  numerical  comparisons  he  proves  that 

' '  The  statistics  show  that  the  West  Point  part  of  the  army  has  been  by  far  the  most  loyal 
branch  of  the  public  service  ;  that  nearly  four  fifths  of  its  graduate  officers  remained 
faithful ;  that  one  half  of  those  from  the  South  stood  fii-m  by  the  '  Stars  and  Stripes  ;' 
and,  in  the  battles  for  the  Union,  that  oire  fifth  of  those  engaged  laid  down  their  lives, 
more  than  one  third,  and  probably  one  half,  were  wounded,  and  the  survivors  can 
point  with  manly  pride  to  their  services,  here  recorded,  for  the  preservation  of  the 
nation. 

"Can  Harvard,  Yale,  Columbia,  Union,  Princeton,  or  any  other  college  in  the  land 
show  a  higher  record  of  patriotism  and  sacrifice?  Assuredly  not,  for  their  Southern 
graduates  espoused  the  rebel  cause  almost  en  masse.  Should  then  these  noble  semi- 
naries of  learning  be  aspersed  as  nurseries  of  treason  because  they  did  not  retain  all 
their  f.lcves  in  the  Union  fold  ?" 

After  showing  how  important  an  element  to  military  success  in  war.  and  to  the  organi- 
zation and  management  of  the  great  bodies  of  troops  suddenly  called  together  to  subdue 
the  Rebellion,  were  the  graduates  of  the  Academy,  and  the  military  knowledge  which 
the  Academy  has  been  the  means  of  disseminating  through  all  classes,  the  author 
exclaims  : 

"  How  insignificant  is  the  expense  of  this  gi-eat  establishment,  which  has  had  an 
existence  of  two  thirds  of  a  century,  at  a  total  cost  during  that  long  period  of  useful- 
ness not  exceeding  the  nation's  outlay  for  carrying  on  war  during  a  suvjle  -week  of  the 
closing  years  of  the  Rebellion !  And  since  1802,  when  it  was  created,  the  average 
annual  appropriations  have  not  been  more  than  those  for  the  maintenance  of  a  squad- 
ron of  cavalry. " 

In  another  place  he  affirms  that  the  integrity  of  its  graduates  is  proved  by  the  fact 
that  bat  tw)  per  cent,  of  the  entire  number  have  been  cashiered  or  dismissed  from  the 
army,  and  nearly  all  of  these  for  dissipation,  and  purely  military  oftences. 

We  have  said  enough,  we  think,  to  give  a  comprehensive  idea  of  the  value  of  such  a 
work,  and  of  the  thoroughness  with  which  it  has  been  executed.

PREFACE. 


After  many  years  of  persevering  toil  I  present  to  my  brother 
Graduates  of  the  Military  Academy  this  Record  of  their  services, 
honorable  to  themselves,  giving  world-i-enown  to  their  Alma 
Mater,  and  claiming  for  their  country  a  place  in  the  first  rank 
of  military  nations.  Every  source  of  information,  official  and 
private,  has  been  exhausted  to  make  this  work  accurate  and 
complete.  Archives  have  been  ransacked,  tons  of  manuscripts 
examined,  letters  by  thousands  written,  and  interrogatories 
almost  countless  put  wherever  a  hope  of  gleaning  any  infor- 
mation at  all  reliable  existed.  Doubtless  many  errors  will  be 
found,  but  in  a  work  of  this  magnitude  and  character,  where 
positive  data  are  often  unattainable,  mistakes  are  unavoidable; 
but  with  free  access  to  the  records  of  the  War  Department  and 
Military  Academy,  a  voluminous  correspondence  with  graduates 
and  their  friends,  and  a  personal  acquaintance  of  more  than  thirty 
years  with  the  movements  and  operations  of  the  Army,  I  have 
by  untiring  industry,  collected  and  condensed  in  these  volumes 
as  faithful  summaries  of  the  services  of  the  eleves  of  the  Military 
Academy,  as  I  believe  any  single  individual  could  accomplish.  To 
avoid  errors  as  far  as  practicable,  the  etat  de  service  of  each  living 
loyal  graduate  was  submitted  to  him  for  correction  before  being 
incorporated  in  this  work.  A  large  majority  promptly  responded, 
but  I  regret  that  many  replied  too  late  to  change  their  records 
before  being  sent  to  the  printer. 

The  History  of  the  Military  Academy  is  too  large  a  subject  to 
be  compressed  within  the  preface  to  these  volumes;  but  I  cannot 
forbear  dwelling  a  little  upon  the  value  of  this  noble  institution 
to  the  country,  and  the  cheap  defense  secured  to  the  nation 
through  the  admirable  instruction  there  given. 

The  Father  of  his  Country,  in  his  last  annual  message  to  Con- 
gress, says:  "  Whatever  arguments  may  be  drawn  from  particular 
examples,  superficially  viewed,  a  thorough  examination  of  the 


VI  PREFACE. 

subject  will  evince  that  the  Art  of  War  is  both  comprehensive 
and  complicated:  that  it  demands  much  previous  study,  and  that 
the  possession  of  it,  in  its  most  improved  and  perfect  state,  is 
always  of  great  moment  to  the  security  of  a  nation." 

In  elementary  tactics,  or  the  organizing  and  changing  of  troops 
of  any  arm  from  one  formation  to  another,  as  from  line  into 
column  or  square,  oflicers  of  ordinary  capacity  can  make  them- 
selves proficient  in  a  very  few  months;  but  a  general  must  know 
much  more  than  this  before  he  is  capable  of  selecting  a  proper 
base  and  line  of  operations,  of  directing  suitable  formations  on 
the  field  of  battle,  or  manoeuvring  his  army  to  succesfully  reach 
a  chosen  objective  point.  "  Ghaque  soldat  Franpais  porle,  dans  sa 
giberne,  son  baton  de  marechal  de  France,''^  was  a  true  saying,  pro- 
vided the  soldier  carried  in  his  head,  at  the  same  time,  the  qualifi- 
cations for  a  marshal:  hence  nearly  all  of  Napoleon's  greatest 
generals,  to  whom  he  entrusted  the  command  of  armies,  were 
either  educated  in  military  schools  or  had  large  experience  in 
the  wars  of  the  French  Revolution.  Marshals  like  Ney  and 
Macdonald,  so  terrible  on  the  battle-field  when  directed  by  the 
master-genius  of  the  educated  Emperor,  were  sorry  failures  in 
strategic  combinations  when  left  to  their  own  devices,  as 
Dennewitz   and  the  Katsbach   bear  witness. 

In  our  days,  we  no  longer  believe  in  what  Chatham  called 
"  heaven-born  generals."  It  is  agreed  that  modern  warfare  is  the 
offspring  of  science  and  civilization  ;  that  it  has  its  rules  and  its 
principles,  which  it  is  necessary  to  thoroughly  master  before 
being  worthy  to  command  ;  and  that  it  is  wiser  to  pi'ofit  by  the 
lessons  of  history  than  to  purchase  experience  by  the  blood  of 
battle-fields.  The  brief  span  of  a  single  life  avails  little  in  work- 
ing out  the  great  problems  of  science  ;  but  education  supplies 
the  piled-up  aggregates  of  human  knowledge.  From  the  days  of 
early  Greece,  which  excelled  in  all  the  arts,  military  education  has 
been  deemed  indispensable  for  great  success  in  arms.  It  is  mind, 
disciplined  and  instructed,  which  leads  armies  and  builds  up  em- 
pires ;  mind,  not  stultified  with  pedantry,  but  developed  by 
thought  and  inward  will,  conferring  the  power  of  discerning, 
analyzing,  and  combining  means  essential  to  an  end.  This 
culture  of  the  soldier  is  to  be  acquired,  not  alone  in  military 
academies,  but  in  that  greater  school,  the  camp  and  battle-field. 
To  form  the  accomplished  commander,  the  practice  of  campaigns 
must  be  the  sequence  of  the  lessons  taught  by  the  masters  of  the 
art.  "  The  knowledge  of  grand  tactics,"  says  Napoleon,  "  is  ac- 
quired only  by  experience  and  by  the  study  of  the  history  of  the 


PREFACE.  VU 

campaig-ns  of  all  tlie  j^reat  captains.  Gustavus  Adolphus,  Tu- 
lenue,  Frederick,  like  Alexander,  Hannibal,  and  Caesar,  have  all 
acted  on  the  same  principles,  of  holding  their  forces  united,  being 
nowhere  vulnerable,  and  throwing  their  masses  upon  important 
points  :  such  are  the  principles  which  assure  victory.  Read 
again  and  again  the  campaigns  of  Alexander,  Hannibal,  Cassar, 
Gustavus,  Turenne,  Eugene,  and  of  Frederick.  Make  them  your 
models.  This  is  the  only  way  of  becoming  a  great  captain  and 
mastering  the  secrets  of  the  art  of  war.  Your  genius,  enlight- 
ened by  this  study,  will  induce  you  to  reject  all  maxims  in  con- 
flict with  those  of  these  great  commanders." 

Genius  to  conceive  great  projects  and  devise  extraordinary 
means  for  their  accomplishment  is  the  first  requisite  of  a  great 
general ;  but,  besides  this  creative  power,  he  must  have  knowl- 
edge and  experience,  which  are  the  implements  with  which  he 
works.  Some  eminent  commanders,  it  is  true,  have  had  genius 
without  great  learning  ;  but  the  foremost  men  of  the  world — 
Alexander,  Cassar,  and  Napoleon — were  distinguished,  not  only 
as  practical  generals  but  as  learned  scholars.  Tlie  first  was  in- 
structed by  Aristotle  in  all  branches  of  Grecian  lore,  modelled 
himself  upon  the  heroes  of  Homer,  and  was  an  annotator  of  the 
Iliad  ;  the  second  was  a  great  classical  author,  the  master  of 
Roman  art,  and  the  rival  of  Cicero  in  eloquence  ;  and  the  third 
would  have  been  famous  as  a  philosopher  had  he  not  been  an  em- 
peror. "  Do  you  think,"  said  Napoleon,  "  if  I  had  not  been  gen- 
eral-in-chief,  and  the  instrument  of  fate  to  a  mighty  nation,  that 
I  would  have  accepted  place  and  dependence  ?  No  !  I  would 
have  thrown  myself  into  the  study  of  the  exact  sciences.  My 
path  would  have  been  that  of  Galileo  and  Newton  ;  and,  since  I 
have  always  succeeded  in  my  great  enterprises,  1  should  have 
highly  distinguished  myself  also  in  my  scientific  labors.  I  should 
have  left  the  memory  of  magnificent  discoveries." 

But,  besides  genius  and  knowledge,  the  habitude  of  enlarged 
command,  which  is  the  education  of  the  field,  is  indispensable  to 
make  the  great  captain  ;  to  know  how  to  organize  and  form  the 
character  of  an  nrmy,  as  well  as  to  lead  it  when  formed.  It  was 
not  intellectual  superiority  alone,  but  that  confidence  inspired  by 
discipline,  which  enabled  Miltiades,  with  his  ten  thousand  Greeks, 
to  stem  the  avalanche  of  Persia  on  the  plains  of  Marathon.  It 
was  not  numbers  and  muscle  that  conquered  Asia,  but  Alexan- 
der, young  in  years,  but  old  in  the  experience  of  camps,  with 
Philip's  veteran  phalanxes,  led  by  such  skilled  commanders  as 
Parmenio,  Antipater,  Attalus,  and  other  captains  educated  in  war. 


VIU  PEEFACE. 

Hannibal  was  no  blind  Sumson,  removing  Alpine  barriers  in  order 
to  inundate  the  plains  of  Italy  with  his  Carthaginian  hosts,  but 
the  learned  pupil  of  Hamilcar,  leading  the  war-trained  bands  of 
Carthalo,  Hanno,  Mutines,  and  Maharbal,  well  practised  in  the 
school  of  victory  in  Spain.  Scipio,  though  without  veteran  le- 
gions, had  seen  the  battles  of  Ticinus,  Trebbia,  and  Cannie,  and 
probabl}''  had  served  under  Pabius  and  Marcellus  ;  but  not  till  he 
had  won  that  double  victory  over  the  armies  of  Syphax  and  As- 
diubal  was  he — the  educated  commander — able  to  cope  with  the 
great  Punic  warrior  on  the  plains  of  Zama.  Caesar  was  a  stu- 
dent from  his  cradle  ;  and,  though  "  in  him  was  a  thousand  Afa- 
riuses,"  it  was  not  till  he  had  learned  the  art  of  war  in  Spain  and 
Gaul,  against  barbarians,  that  he  could  conquer  his  distinguished 
rival  at  Pharsalia. 

Knowledge  and  experience  have  been  equally  the  elements  of 
success  with  modern  generals.  Turenne,  carefully  educated,  and 
studying  war  under  his  distinguished  uncle,  Maurice,  required 
a  dozen  campaigns  to  grow  from  the  youthful  commander  in 
Lorraine  to  the  consummate  strategist,  manoeuvring  against 
Montecuculi.  Gustavus,  educated  for  the  throne,  and  the  heir  of 
war  with  his  powerful  rivals  of  Poland  and  Russia,  won  his 
great  victory  of  Leipsic  by  the  enthusiasm  inspired  by  his  heroic 
leadership,  no  less  than  by  the  stern  discipline  of  his  troops. 
Conde,  though  rapidly  passing  from  the  school  to  the  camp,  and 
from  the  camp  to  victory,  was,  after  the  rough  lessons  of  Merci, 
John  de  Wert  and  Turenne,  thrice  the  general  when  vanquished 
at  Senef,  in  his  later  career,  than  as  the  stripling  victor  of 
Rocroy.  Prince  Eugene,  preferring  Xenophon  and  Polybius  to 
his  breviary,  deserted  the  Church  for  the  camp;  but  with  all  his 
passion  for  war  and  numerous  campaigns,  he  was  not  the  finished 
commander  till  the  siege  of  Lille  and  the  day  of  Malplaquet. 
Marlborough  had  little  book-lore;  but  from  the  age  of  sixteen  he 
studied  war  in  the  field,  and  was  a  pupil  of  the  great  Turenne, 
though  that  education  required  many  successive  campaigns  to 
change  the  Churchill  of  Sedgemoor  into  the  Marlborough  of 
Blenheim.  Practice  supplied  his  scholastic  deficiencies  equally 
as  soldier  or  statesman.  Frederick  the  Great,  the  heir  to  a  mili- 
tary throne,  was  thoroughly  educated  for  a  soldier;  but  it  re- 
quired the  mortification  of  Mollwitz  and  the  teachings  of  his 
faithful  Schwerin  to  fit  him  to  lead  his  Potsdam  grenadiers  through 
that  wonderful  career  of  seven  years  of  glory.  Wellington  was 
educated  at  the  military  school  of  Angiers,  in  France;  but  it  was 
in  applying  the  principles  of  war,  there  taught,  to  his  India  cam- 


PREFACE.  IX 

paigns,  that  he  learned  the  path  to  success  in  Spain  and  to  win 
the  laurelled  crown  of  Waterloo.  Napoleon,  the  meteor  that  has 
so  dazzled  the  world,  received  the  best  military  education  in 
France;  and,  though  his  first  campaigns  are  the  most  extraor- 
dinary on  the  page  of  history,  it  must  be  remembered  that  he 
had  had  the  previous  experience  of  the  siege  of  Toulon  and  two 
3'ears'  service  with  the  Army  of  the  Alps.  But,  brilliant  as  were 
Castiglione,  Areola,  and  Rivoli,  how  much  were  they  eclipsed  by 
the  after-glories  of  Austerlitz,  Jena,  Wagram,  Borodino,  and  the 
immortal  campaign  of  18141 

We  could  go  on  citing  examples  to  the  same  effect  till  we  had 
exhausted  nearly  the  whole  catalogue  of  distinguished  com- 
manders of  ancient  and  modern  times;  but  the  prominent  generals 
we  have  named  will  suffice  to  show  that,  to  a  natural  aptitude  for 
war,  soldiers,  as  in  all  professions  and  crafts,  must  be  educated 
to  their  vocation;  and,  to  rise  to  the  high  level  of  a  finished  cap- 
tain, much  practice  and  the  habitude  of  command  are  essential. 

Unfortunately,  the  lessons,  taught  on  almost  every  page  of  the 
history  of  war  have  been  too  often  lost  upon  our  country;  and 
the  accumulated  evidence  of  four  great  wars,  in  which  this  nation 
has  been  involved,  does  not  seem  to  have  changed  the  course  of 
our  rulers 

During  the  Revolution,  having  but  few  educated  officers,  we 
were  very  frequently  dependent  upon  European  soldiers  of  fortune, 
who  were  eagerly  employed  with  high  rank  and  extravagant 
pay.  To  Steuben,  the  disciple  of  the  great  Frederick,  the 
Continental  Army  was  mainly  indebted  for  its  discipline.  Con- 
gress, thi'ough  Dr.  Franklin  and  Mr  Deane,  was  compelled  to  ask 
Louis  XVI  for  engineers;  '"for,"  said  General  Charles  Lee,  "we 
had  not  an  officer  in  the  army  who  knew  the  difference  betwixt  a 
chevaux  defrise  and  a  cabbage-garden."  Though  victory  perched 
upon  our  standards  in  the  beginning  of  the  contest  at  Bemis' 
Heights,  and  we  had  the  educated  patriot  soldier  Schuyler  to 
prepare  our  army  for  the  struggle,  Kosciuszko,  the  accomplished 
engineer,  to  plan  our  defenses,  the  impetuous  and  reckless  daring 
of  an  Ai-nold  to  lead  the  assault,  and  the  unerring  aim  of 
Morgan's  riflemen  to  deprive  the  enemy  of  its  ablest  commander 
(Fraser),  yet  were  we  far  from  possessing  the  instruction  neces- 
sary for  successful  war.  In  the  school  of  adversity,  and  with  the 
blood  of  thousands,  Washington,  though  opposed  to  feeble  gene- 
rals and  small  numbers,  had  to  learn  more  difficult  lessons  than 
those  first  taught  him  at  Braddock's  defeat. 

Washington  fully  appreciated  the  saying  "  that  an   army  of 


S  PEEFACE. 

asses  led  by  a  lion  is  vastly  superior  to  an  army  of  lions  led  by 
an  ass:"  hence  his  solicitude,  to  the  day  of  his  death,  to  see 
established  a  national  school  for  the  education  of  officers.  With 
good  generals,  he  knew  an  efifective  army  might  be  created  out 
of  the  most  unpromising  materials;  of  which  we  have  the  best 
proof  in  the  examples  of  Portuguese  and  Hindoos  under  British, 
and  Italians  under  French  commanders. 

Through  his  efforts  and  those  of  tlie  patriot  statesmen  of  the 
Revolution,  our  Military  Academy  was  established  in  1802;  but 
it  led  a  languishing  life,  and,  though  war  was  impending,  it  may 
be  said  to  have  almost  ceased  to  have  an  existence,  under 
Dr.  Eustis'  feeble  administration  of  the  War  Department.  At  the 
commencement  of  hostilities  with  Great  Britain,  there  were  but 
sixty-five  graduates  of  the  Military  Academy  in  service,  and  our 
few  regulars  had  scarce  ever  seen  a  battle-field.  Again  our 
armies  had  to  meet  the  foe  with  few  educated  officers  and  but 
little  experience  in  war:  hence  the  years  1812  and  1813,  except- 
ing the  sea-fights,  were  almost  always  annals  of  American 
defeats.  The  glorious  souvenirs  of  Bunker  Hill,  Saratoga,  and 
King's  Mountain  were  obscured  by  the  pusillanimous  surrenders 
at  Detroit  and  Niagara,  the  barbarous  massacres  at  Hampton 
and  the  river  Raisin,  and  the  disgraceful  failures  at  Chrysler's 
Field  and  La  Cole  Mill.  During  the  brief  and  brilliant  campaigns 
of  1814  and  1815,  when  our  education  in  war  was  anew  pur- 
chased upon  unsuccessful  fields  of  blood,  the  full  tide  of  triumph 
flowed  on  almost  uninterruptedly,  and  the  "Second  War  of  Inde- 
pendence" closed  in  a  blaze  of  victory.  In  these  last  achieve- 
ments the  youthful  sons  of  the  Military  Academy  nobly  performed 
their  part.  Of  those  serving  in  the  field,  one  sixth  laid  down 
their  lives  in  the  struggle,  one  fourth  were  killed  or  wounded, 
and  one  fifth  of  those  who  survived  received  one  or  two  brevets 
each  for  their  distinguished  gallantry  in  that  war. 

Thirty  years  of  lucrative  peace  followed  before  our  next  contest, 
but  the  nation  had  somewhat  profited  by  its  past  shortcomings. 
The  Military  Academy,  on  the  breaking  out  of  the  Mexican  war, 
had  over  five  hundred  highly-educated  graduates  in  service,  and 
nearly  as  many  more  in  civil  life,  i-eady  to  resume  their  swords 
in  their  country's  defense.  Our  regular  arm^'^,  mostly  officered 
by  them,  had  acquired  experience  in  fighting  savages  on  our  ex- 
tended frontier,  and  had  learned  discipline  in  the  swamps  of 
Florida.  Our  brave  volunteers,  with  high  aptitude  to  form  the 
best  of  soldiers,  wisely  sought  the  el^ves  of  our  national  school, 
and  tendered  to  them  the  command  of  their  regiments  and  bat-

talions.  The  material  of  battle  had  been  prepared  by  skilful 
hands,  and  educated  minds  directed  the  complicate  machinery  of 
war.  The  consequence  of  this  fortuitous  condition  of  things,  de- 
spite political  machinations,  is  too  well  known  to  require  to  be 
detailed  here.  Suflice  it  to  say  that,  in  comparing  this  with  the 
preceding  war,  the  fruits  of  military  education  are  most  appa- 
rent. In  Canada,  during  two  and  a  half  years,  ivith  much 
larger  forces  than,  the  enemy,  our  defeats  outnumbered  our  victories  ; 
our  gains  in  prisoners  of  war  were  less  than  our  losses  ;  our 
trophies  were  few  ;  and  our  conquests  scarce  extended  beyond 
the  camps  we  occupied.  In  the  Mexican  war,  our  small,  but  he- 
roic army,  in  less  than  a  year  and  a  half,  though  opposed  to  the 
quadruple  force  of  the  enemy,  won  thirty  victories,  captured 
forty  thousand  soldiers,  took  a  thousand  cannon  and  an  immense 
amount  of  small  arms  and  munitions  of  war,  carried  ten  fortified 
places  and  the  capital  of  the  enemy,  and  extended  our  conquests 
over  the  immense  territory  of  Mexico  and  California.  The  gain 
of  that  war,  to  say  nothing  of  national  reputation,  now  annually 
pays  more  than  thrice  the  total  cost  of  the  contest.

experienced  soldiers  this  nation  has  produced,  and  the  consum- 
mate leader  of  our  armies  in  Mexico, — says,  in  a  letter  to  the 
commission  appointed  under  the  act  of  June  21,  1860,  to  examine 
into  the  organization,  system  of  discipline,  and  course  of  instruc- 
tion of  the  Military  Academy  :  "  I  give  it  as  my  fixed  opinion 
that,  but  for  our  graduated  cadets,  the  war  between  the  United 
States  and  Mexico  might,  and  probably  would,  have  lasted  some 
four  or  five  years,  with,  in  its  first  half,  more  defeats  than  victories 
falling  to  our  share  ;  whereas,  in  less  than  two  carapaig'ns,  we 
conquered  a  great  country  and  a  peace,  without  the  loss  of  a 
single  battle  or  skirmish." 

The  great  results  of  the  Mexican  war  gave  the  Military 
Academy  an  immense  reputation,  and  its  popularity  continued 
till  the  first  outbreak  of  the  late  Rebellion,  which  at  once 
assumed  proportions  entirely  incommensurate  with  any  of  our 
past  notions  or  experience  in  war;  yet  the  youthful  graduates 
of  the  institution,  who  perhaps  had  never  commanded  a  larger 
force  than  a  company  or  battalion,  were  expected  at  once  to 
lead  vast  armies  of  undisciplined  troops  through  unknown 
morasses  and  tangled  wildernesses  to  assured  victory.  Though 
they  quickly  learned  to  apply  the  sound  precepts  taught  at 
the  Military  Academy,  yet  at  the  beginning  of  the  war  it  was 
hardly  reasonable  to  expect  them  to   successfully  manoeuvre 


•m  PKEFACE. 

colossal  armies  in  an  unexplored  country,  and  in  the  presence 
of  a  brave  and  active  enemy,  who  thoroug-lily  knew  the  topog- 
raphy of  every  battle-field  and  theatre  of  campaig-n.  Under  these 
circumstances,  successful  leadership  required  larg-e  experience,  as 
'well  as  knowledge  and  genius,  such  as  had  been  exhibited  by 
scarce  a  score  of  generals  since  the  earliest  period  of  authentic 
history;  for,  leaving  out  Asiatic  conquerors  with  their  fabulous 
liosts,  which  could  neither  be  fed  nor  moved  in  campaign,  it 
may  safely  be  asserted  that  not  twenty  generals,  prior  to  the 
time  of  the  Southern  rebellion,  had  ever  commanded,  in  a  single 
battle-field,  an  army  of  one  hundred  thousand  men. 

These  early  failures  disappointed  the  cherished  hopes  of  the 
nation,  and  foreign  adventurers  and  greedy  demagogues,  who 
were  aspirants  for  high  appointments  in  the  service,  seized  the 
occasion  with  avidity  to  make  the  Academy  a  target  fur  tvery 
kind  of  vituperation,  particularly  the  unjust  charge  of  the  dis- 
loyalty of  its  graduates.  It  is,  unfortunately,  true  that  many  for- 
got the  flag  under  which  they  were  educated,  to  follow  false  gods. 
But  who  were  the  leaders  of  this  treason  but  the  honored  and 
trusted  in  the  land,  filling,  or  who  had  filled,  the  highest  places  in 
the  government:  Senators,  Representatives,  members  of  the  Cabi- 
net, foreign  Ministers,  Judges  of  United  States  Courts,  and  even 
those  who  had  been  elected  by  the  people  to  fill  the  highest  offices 
in  their  gift  ?  Was  it,  then,  a  greater  crime  for  graduates  of  our 
national  Academy  to  forsake  their  country  than  for  the  highest 
officials  in  every  branch  of  the  government,  executive,  legisla- 
tive, and  judicial,  who,  from  the  seceding  States,  almost  to  a  man, 
joined  the  rebel  standard  ? 

But  let  us  examine  this  rebellion  record  a  little  more  closely. 
In  the  executive  department,  four  Presidents  were  living  when 
Secession  began.  Of  these,  the  only  Southerner  joined  the 
rebel§;  another  did  the  country  more  harm  than  an  avowed  ene- 
my :  while  the  others  certainly  were  not  over  demonstrative  in 
their  efforts  to  preserve  the  Union.  Belonging  to  the  bench  of 
the  Supreme  Court  there  were  four  Southern  judges,  of  whom 
two  remained  loyal,  one  was  strongly  sympathetic  with  the 
South,  and  one  joined  the  rebels.  The  Southern  judges  of  the 
United  States  District  Courts  sided  with  their  own  people.  Of  the 
Senators  in  Congress  from  the  seceding  States  but  one,  and  of 
the  House  of  Representatives  but  three  remained  loyal.  Nearly 
all  the  agents  of  the  State,  Treasury,  Interior,  and  Post-office  De- 
partments, residing  in,  or  from  the  seceding  States,  espoused  the 
rebel  cause.     Over  one  fourth  of  the  officers  of  the  Navy  on  the 


PREFACE.  XUi 

active  list  resigned  or  were  dismissed  in  1860-61,  nearly  all  ut 
whom,  being  Southerners,  probably  joined  in  the  Rebellion,  Of 
those  appointed  in  the  Army  from  civil  life  nearly  one  half,  while 
but  a  little  over  one  fifth  of  the  West  Point  oflBcers,  left  the  ser- 
vice and  joined  in  the  rebellion. 

With  these  pregnant  facts  before  us,  we  would  ask  :  was  it  a 
greater  wrong  in  an  humble  graduate  to  forget  the  nation's  foster- 
ing care  in  training  him  for  four  years  at  the  Military  Academy, 
than  for  a  President  to  renounce  his  allegiance  to  the  country 
which  for  four  years  had  encircled  his  brow  with  the  republic's 
crown  ?  Was  it  more  disreputable  to  forsake  the  flag  beneath  which 
the  graduate  had  been  reared,  than  to  stain  the  revered  and  vener- 
able ermine  of  the  Supreme  Bench  with  the  Upas  of  Secession?  Were 
the  makers  of  the  laws — Southern  Senators  and  Representatives — 
who  trampled  the  Constitution  under  foot,  less  guilty  than  grad- 
uates, for  violating  their  vows  ?  Strange  to  say,  though  so  many 
of  these  highest  oflScials  of  the  land  rebelled  against  the  Union, 
we  rarely  hear  Congress,  the  Supreme  Court,  the  executive,  and 
other  departments  of  the  government,  stigmatized  as  nurseries 
of  treason,  while  the  Military  Academy  has  been  the  butt 
against  which  every  opprobrious  epithet  has  been  hurled  by 
unscrupulous  demagogues,  as  false  to  the  flag  and  ungrateful 
to  the  nation,  notwithstanding  the  statistics  show  that  the 
West  Point  part  of  the  army  has  been  by  far  the  most  loyal 
branch  of  the  public  service  ;  that  nearly  four  fifths  of  its 
graduate  officers  remained  faithful ;  that  one  half  of  those  from 
the  South  stood  firm  by  the  stars  and  stripes;  and,  in  the  battles 
for  the  Union,  that  one  fifth  of  those  engaged  laid  down  their 
lives,  more  than  one  third,  and  probably  one  half,  were  wounded, 
and  the  survivors  can  point  with  manly  pride  to  their  services, 
here  recorded,  for  the  preservation  of  the  nation. 

Can  Harvard,  Yale,  Columbia,  Union,  Princeton  or  any  other 
college  in  the  land  show  a  higher  record  of  patriotism  and  sacri- 
fice ?  Assuredly  not:  for  their  Southern  graduates  espoused  the 
rebel  cause  almost  en  masse.  Should,  then,  these  noble  seminaries 
of  learning  be  aspersed  as  nurseries  of  treason  because  they  did 
not  retain  all  their  eleves  in  the  Union  fold  ?  And  is  it  just  to 
launch  anathemas  at  the  Military  Academy  which  saved  by  the 
antidote  of  its  loyal  teachings  one  half  of  its  southern  pupils, 
•.vho,  from  infancy  to  early  manhood,  before  they  enfered  this 
uur  truly  national  institution,  had  imbibed  the  poison  of  secession, 
till  the  virus  had  permeated  every  fibre  of  their  hearts  and  brains  ?

SIV  PEEFACE. 

That  noble  band  of  one  hundred  and  sixty-two  southern  grad- 
uates, cradled  and  reared  in  state  alleg-iance,  but  rescued  from 
treason  by  West  Point  influences,  bravelj'  battled  against  rebel- 
lion, and  no  less  firmly  against  every  appeal  of  relative  and 
friend  to  swerve  them  from  loyally  and  duty.  These,  with  all 
Northern  officers  (save  sixteen  who  dishonored  their  Alma  Mater) 
and  one  hundred  and  fiftci  n  graduates  from  civil  life  who  re- 
joined the  military  service,  fought  the  good  fight  for  the 
Union,  though  their  merits  were  often  overlooked  to  give  place 
to  those  who  had  not  learned,  as  Napoleon  calls  it,  "le  metier  des 
amies." 

Much  unreasonable  clamor  has  been  echoed  throughout  the 
length  and  breadth  of  the  land  of  the  enormity  of  graduates 
joining  in  the  Rebellion  because  they  were  educated  at  the  pub- 
lic expense.  True  the  government  gave  them  the  best  scientific 
military  education,  at  a  cost  for  each  of  from  two  to  three  thou- 
sand dollars.  But,  it  may  be  asked,  was  this  out  of  pure  love 
fur  the  individual  cadets  and  as  a  charitable  bounty  to  promising 
young  men,  or  did  the  republic,  requiring  the  best  officers  for  its 
small  standing  army,  act  upon  the  principle  of  all  communities, 
that  it  was  more  profitable  to  employ  educated  talent  to  execute 
her  high  trusts  than  to  procure  cheap  ignorance,  to  be  heavily 
discounted  in  disaster  and  disgrace  on  the  first  shock  of  arms  ? 
It  is  not  for  the  benefit  of  the  Military  Academy  but  for  the 
nation's  self  that  she  supports  and  fosters  that  noble  seminary 
of  science  and  military  art,  which  has  already  a  thousand  times 
repaid  its  cost  in  the  success  of  our  arms,  in  the  difi'usion  of 
special  knowledge,  in  the  execution  of  great  public  works,  and 
in  the  proverbial  integrity  of  its  graduates.  Tho  whole  annual 
cost  of  the  institution  would  not  equal  the  losses  through  igno- 
rance by  a  single  blunder  in  ordnance  or  engineering  construc- 
tion, or  the  profits  by  knavery  on  a  few  corrupt  contracts;  and 
the  compensation  for  the  educated  talent  of  the  graduates  of  the 
Academy,  if  obtained  from  civil  life,  would  exceed  the  pay  of  offi- 
cers of  the  army  by  an  amount  far  greater  than  the  entire  expenses 
of  that  institution:  hence  it  is  supported  not  only  to  secure  effici- 
ency but  as  a  measure  of  economy.  It  might  as  well  be  argued  that 
the  nation  pays  high  salaries  to  its  Presidents,  Judges,  and  Le- 
gislators as  gratuities,  and  not  for  their  services  to  the  republic, 
as  that  the  Military  Academy  is  a  charity  school  for  the  benefit 
of  its  eleves.  The  nation  maintains  the  Military  Academy  exclu- 
sively for  its  own,  and  not  for  the  graduated  interest,  and  the 
entire  cost  of  educating  the  whole  of  the  seceding  graduates  in 


PREFACE.  XV 

money  was  not  move  than  was  saved  by  the  military  knowledge 
of  its  loyal  graduates  on  emry  day  of  the  rebellion,  and  the  saving 
to  the  reputation  of  our  arras  was  wholly  incommensurate  with 
any  price  paid  for  the  maintenance  of  that  nursery  of  soldiers. 

But  how  insignificant  is  the  expense  of  this  great  establish- 
ment which  has  had  an  existence  of  two  thirds  of  a  century,  at  a 
total  cost  during  that  long  period  of  usefulness  not  exceeding 
the  nation's  outlay  for  carrying  on  war  during  a  single  week  of 
the  closing  years  of  the  Rebellion  !  and  since  1802,  when  it  was 
created,  the  average  annual  appropriations  have  not  been  more 
than  those  for  the  maintenance  of  a  squadron  of  cavalry.  Yet 
for  this  pittance  in  the  yearly  budget,  this  admirable  institution 
has  supplied  the  nation  with  over  2  200  accomplished  officers, 
of  which  any  army  might  well  be  proud;  has  filled  every  arm  of 
the  service  with  talent,  efficiency  and  integrity;  has  materially 
aided  in  successfully  conducting  three  great  wars,  extending  our 
national  domain,  and  preserving  the  Union;  has  perpetually 
pushed  the  wild  savage  from  our  borders,  and  been  the  pioneer 
of  advancing  civilization;  has  constructed  and  armed  our  fortifi- 
cations, improved  our  harbors,  lakes  and  rivers,  defined  our 
boundaries,  surveyed  and  lighted  our  coasts,  and  explored  the 
length  and  breadth  of  our  land;  has  given  to  our  militia  and 
volunteers  large  numbers  of  valuable  officers,  and  to  our  colleges 
able  presidents  and  professors;  has  furnished  distinguislied  civil 
engineers,  who  have  bound  our  territory  together  with  a  net  work 
of  railways  and  canals;  has  supplied  valuable  city,  state  and 
government  functionaries;  has  improved  our  workshops  and  the 
cultui-e  of  the  soil;  has  added  its  mite  to  the  counting-house,  the 
bar  and  the  pulpit;  and,  through  the  contributions  and  text-books 
of  its  graduates,  has  greatly  elevated  the  scientific  standard  of 
most  of  the  educational  institutions  throughout  our  country,  and 
even  extended  its  influence  abroad. 

With  such  a  catalogue  of  services  of  the  eleves  of  the  Military 
Academ}^;  while  the  integrity  of  its  graduates  is  proved  by  the 
fact  that  but  about  two  per  cent,  of  their  entire  number  have 
been  cashiered  or  dismissed  from  the  army,  and  nearly  all  these 
for  dissipation  and  purely  military  offences;  and  where  there  is 
so  much  excellence,  matured  for  yearp  by  the  thought  and  fos- 
tering care  of  so  many  wise  and  conscientious  men  who  have 
shaped  the  Acad(»my's  destinies — it  is  certainly  due  to  the  insti- 
tution, which  has  been  tested  in  the  crucible  of  peace  and  war, 
that  our  statesmen  should  frcl  that  the  past  is  a  guarantee  of 
future  usefulness;   that  its  value  should  be  enhanced  by  adding 


XXI  PEEFACE. 

materially  to  the  number  of  its  graduates,  now  limited  to  about 
one  annually  to  every  million  of  our  people;  that  untried  projects 
of  military  education  should  be  discarded  as  schemes  like  to  re- 
turn to  plague  the  inventors;  and  that  this  great  national  Academy 
is  worthy  of  the  country's  confidence,  and,  as  Napoleon  said  oi 
the  Polytechnic  School,  is  for  the  Army,  "le  poulet  aux  ceufs 
cVorJ' 

In  advocating  the  importance  of  military  education  and  setting 
forth  the  usefulness  of  our  great  National  Academy,  there  is  no 
design  of  arrogating  for  its  graduates  any  exclusive  excellence  as 
leaders  of  our  armies,  nor  of  detracting  from  the  merits  of  those 
who  have  not  enjoyed  the  same  advantages.  All  honor  to  our 
patriotic  and  gallant  volunteers  who,  from  the  bar,  the  farm,  the 
counting-house,  the  work-shop,  and  every  sphere  of  life,  rushed  at 
the  sound  of  the  first  hostile  gun  fired  in  the  Rebellion  to  their 
country's  defense  I  Their  self-sacrifice  in  giving  up  lucrative 
positions  and  the  comforts  of  home  for  the  privations  of  camp, 
their  intelligence  in  meeting  the  difficult  requirements  of  their 
new  vocations,  their  endurance  through  long  marches  and  weary 
campaigns,  their  steadfastness  in  the  darkest  hours  of  disaster, 
their  valor  on  the  battle-field  or  in  the  deadly  assault,  their 
moderation  when  victory  liad  assured  our  success,  and  their 
return  as  peaceful  citizens  to  a  cordial  submission  to  the  laws  of 
their  preserved  country,  are  worthy  of  all  commendation.  Doubt- 
less none  more  than  they  felt  and  appreciated  the  great  value  of 
military  education  and  experience  as  essential  adjuncts  to  a 
natural  genius  for  war  in  forming  the  great  captain.  Those  only 
who  know  nothing  of  the  profession  of  arms — 

"Count  wisdom  as  no  member  of  the  war, 
Fore-stall  our  prescience,  and  esteem  no  act 
But  that  of  hand  :  the  still  and  mental  parts, 
That  do  contrive  how  manj'  hands  shall  strike 
When  fitness  calls  them  on,  and  know,  b}'  measure 
Of  their  observant  toil,  the  enemies'  weight ; 
Why,  this  hath  not  a  finger's  dignity  ; 
They  call  this  bed-work-mapp'r^'-,  closet  war  : 
So  that  the  ram  that  batters  down  the  wall, 
For  the  great  swing  and  rudeness  of  its  poise, 
They  place  before  his  hand  that  made  the  engine  ; 
Or  those  that  with  the  fineness  of  their  souls 
By  reason  guide  its  execution."

This  record  shows  that  of  the 
1,219  Gra^laates  of  the  Military 
Academy,  supposed  to  be  living  at 
the  besinnins  of  the  Rebellion,  99 
in  civil  life  and  184  from  the  array 
joinerl  in  the  war  against  the  Uni- 
ted States,  pr  Jess  ihayi  23  per  cctU. 
Adding  even  two-thirds  of  those  of 
whom  it  is  unknown  whether 
they  were  loyal  or  disloyal  (whi'^h 
would  probably  inclnde  all  that 
were  livinpr).  It  appears  that  more 
than  threefonrllis  of  the  Graduates 
remained  faithful  to  the  Union. 

Of  the  821  Graduates  in  the 
army  when  the  Southern  States 
seceded,  184  joined  in  the  Rebel- 
lion, being-  22  per  cent.,  or  but  a 
little  over  ons-Jijth  of  the  whole 
number. 

Of  the  99  Graduates  who  joined 
in  the  Rebellion  from  civil  life,  alt 
were  from  slave  territory,  or  resi- 
dents therein,  except  one. 

Of  the  nso  Graduates  born  in  or 
appoiuteil  from  slave  territory, 
who  were  in  military  ser\'ice  wheri 
the  Southern  States  seceded,  Iti'i 
remained  loyal,  and  168  joined  the 
rebel  ranks — that  is,  they  were 
about  equally  divided.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  latter,  16  from  the  free 
States  joined  in  the  RebellioD, 
making  the  total  of  184. 

Of  the  292  Loyal  Graduates  In 
oivU  life  at  the  date  of  secession, 
113  re-entered  the  military  service 
as  ortlcers  of  Regulars  or  Volun- 
teers, to  suppress  the  Rebellion, 
which  incUidedtioo-seventhsof  those 
over  45  years  old,  ami  all  below 
that  age,  except  39,  who  from  dis- 
ability and  otiier  causes,  diti  not 
take  an  active  part  in  the  war, 
though  many  perlormed  useful 
services  in  civil  capacities  requir- 
ing military  knowledge,  while 
otlierm,  wlio  had  teoilered  their 
services,  were  unable  to  procure 
commissioaB. 

Of  those  In  the  military  service 
of  the  United  States  during  the 
Rebellion,  over  one-half  held  volua- 
teer  commissions. 

Of  the  Graduates  who  served  iti 

the  battles  of  the  Rebellion,  on«- 
n/ih  laid  down  their  lives  to  pre- 
serve ttie  Union,  and  more  than 
ont'-  ihirJ  —  probably  one  -  Jialf  — 
were  wounded  la  defence  of  their 
country's  Qag. 


Note.— Sinco  the  publication  of  tbo  first  odition  of  this  Register,  the  ReboUion  Record  of 
Graduates  has  been  improved  by  the  receipt  of  additional  inforination.

«  The  Rebeluo.v  is  considered  as  beginning  Jan.  9,  1861,  when  the  first  rebel  shot  was  fired  into  the 
"  Star  of  the  West,"  bearing  the  United  States  flag,  and  terminating  Aug.  12, 1866,  the  date  of  the  Presi- 
dent's final  proclamation  that  all  hostilities  had  ceased. 

This  List  embraces  only  the  principal  engagements  of  the  Rebellion,  the  many  thousands  of  skirmishes 
and  minor  actions  being  omitted.  Though  much  care  has  been  bestowed  upon  its  preparation,  it  is  by  no 
means  perfect,  for  want  of  reliable  information,  which  does  not  exist  in  published  works,  nor  do  the 
records  of  the  War  Department  give  full  and  entirely  satisfactory  data.  In  the  classification  here  adopted 
the  term  BatlU  is  applied  to  prolonged  contests  of  armies  or  large  bodies,  usually  not  less  tli.an  an  army 
corps :  Combat  to  a  lesser  battle,  where  a  division  at  least  w.as  engaged  ;  and  Actiiyn,tor  the  wnnt  of  a  better 
appellation,  or  as  a  substitute  for  4/rat>,  used  by  some  military  writers,  is  here  employed  to  designate  a 
minor  engagement  between  small  bodies  of  one  or  a  few  regiments.  In  the  summaries  of  services  of 
graduates  it  will  be  found  that  these  terms  do  not  always  correspond  to  the  cla,ssiflcation  in  this  list,  which 
has  been  more  recently  prepared  and  with  fuller  information  than  was  attainable  when  the  former  were 
written.

*  The  Superintendeni  of  the  Military  Academy,  General  Cullum,  directed  honors  to  be  paid  to 
Gen.  Swift's  memory,  in  the  following  order : 

"Headquarters,  U.  S.  Milptaky  Academy,  1 
"  West  Poi.\t,  N.  Y.,  July  30,  1865.     j 

"  The  First  GrafUiato  of  the  U.  S.  Military  Academy,  General  Joseph  G.  Swift,  departed  this 
life  at  his  residence  in  Geneva,  N.  Y.,  on  the  23d  instant,  at  the  advanced  ago  of  nearly  82. 

"  General  Swi?t  was  born  December  31, 1783,  in  Nantucket,  Mas.;  was  graduated  at  the  Mili- 
tary Academy  .soon  after  its  organization  ;  and  was  promoted  Oct.  12, 1802,  to  bo  Second  Lieutenant 
in  the  Corps  of  Engineers,  in  which  branch  of  service  he  continued  through  all  the  successive 
grades,  till  he  became  Colonel  and  Chief  Engineer  of  the  Army,  July  31, 1812— during  that  periol 
being  chii'fly  engaged  in  the  construction  of  fortifications  on  the  Atlantic  Coast.  In  the  War  of 
1812-\5,  with  Great  Britain,  after  serving  as  Aide-de-Camp  to  Major  General  Pinckney,  he  became, 
in  1813,  the  Chief  Engineer  in  Wilkinson's  campaign  on  the  St.  Lawrence,  participating  in  the 
Battle  of  Chrystler's  Field,  and  was  subsequently,  in  1813-14,  Chief  Engineer  of  the  forces  for 
the  del'ense  of  New  York,  receiving  for  his  'Meritorious  Services,'  the  brevet  of  Brigadier- 
General,  Feb  19.  1814.  After  tlie  war  he  as.sumod  the  direct  Siiporintendency  of  the  Military 
Academy,  and  was  its  Inspector  for  a  brief  period  preceding  his  resignation,  Nov.  12, 1818. 
Upon  leaving  the  Army,  he,  for  nine  years,  was  S^nveyor  of  U.  S.  Revenue  for  the  Port  of  New 
York,  and  then  became  a  distinguished  Civil  Engineer,  employed  by  the  Government,  for  a  long 
period,  in  directing  harbor  improvements  on  the  Nurthern  Lakes,  aud  aiding  in  suppressing 
Canada  Border  disturbances,  being,  in  1841,  honored  by  tlie  Presiient  with  a  mission  to  tha 
British  Provinces  with  rel'orence  to  a  Treaty  of  Peace  with  Great  Britain. 

"  Born  at  the  closi;  of  the  American  Revolution,  and  dying  at  the  termination  of  the  American 
Rebellion,  General  Swift  live!  through  the  most  momentous  period  of  history,  and  was  himself  a 
prominent  actor  in  the  grand  drama  of  our  national  existence.  His  military  career  began  with 
that  of  the  Military  Academy,  which  he  fostered  in  its  feeble  infancy,  and  he  lived  to  see,  in  its 
developed  maturity,  the  sons  of  his  cherished  Alma  Matek  directing  the  high  destinies  of  his 
country  on  viitorious  fl'^lds  in  Canada,  Florida,  Mexico,  and  within  the  wide  domain  of  our 
Southern  bonier.  He  now  calmly  sleeps,  after  a  long  and  useful  lile  of  more  than  fourscoro 
years  leaving  this  world  in  the  blissful  consciousness  that  he  and  his  brother  graduates  of  this 
Institution,  have  ablv  performed  their  allotted  part  in  subduing  the  s  ivage  foe,  in  conquering 
foreign  enemies,  and"  crushing  treason  in  our  midst,  and  that  ho  has  left  behind  a  regenerated 
fatherland  of  one  people,  with  but  one  emblem  of  uatloualily,  sacred  to  Liberty  and  the  triumph 
of  the  best  Govi^rnment  on  earth. 

"  The  p  'rsoual  oxcellonce  of  General  Swirr  can  bo  only  appreciated  by  those  who  knew  and 
loved  him,  and  they  were  all  whom  ho  met  on  his  loMg  journey  of  life,  for  he  had  no  enemies 
but  his  counlry'.s.  Amiable  and  sincere,  spotless  in  integrity,  stanch  in  friendship,  liberal  in 
charity.  General  Swit-r  was  a  model  gentleman,  a  true  pilriot,  and  Christian  soldier,  worthy  o( 
the  imitation  of  all  who,  like  him,  would  live  honored  aud  revered,  and  die  universally 
regretted. 

"As  an  appropriate  tribute  of  respect  from  the  Military  Academy  to  his  memory,  there  will 
be  fired,  under  the  direction  of  the  Commandant  of  Cadets,  eleven-  minute  guns,  commencing  at 
meridian  tomorrow,  and  the  National  flag  will  bo  displayed  at  half-staff  from  the  same  hour 
until  sunset."

MiUtary  History.— Cadet  of  the  U.  S.  MOitary  Academy  from  Mar.  2,  1801, 
to  ]Mar.   6,   1806,   when  he  was  graduated  and  promoted  in  the  Army  to 
Second  Lieut.  ,  Reg.  of  Aetilleeists,  Mab.  6,  1806. 


*  The  Secretary  of  War  anno;:nced  his  death  to  the  army,  April  23, 1864,  In  the  following  Gene- 
ral Order : 

"Another,  and  among  the  last  of  the  heroes  of  our  '  Second  War  of  Independence,'  is  gone. 
Bvt.  Maj. -General  JosKPn  (Jii.bbrt  Totten',  Chief  of  Engineers  of  the  U.  S.  Army,  departed  this 
life  on  the  22d  instant,  in  this  city,  \n  his  seventy-sixth  year. 

"  General  ToTTEN' was  born  August  23,  17SS,  in  N'ew  Haven,  Ct.  ,and  was  graduated  at  the 
Mihtary  Academy  in  180,5,  from  which  ho  was  promoted  to  the  Corps  of  Engineers,  and,  with  a 
brief  interval,  from  1806  to  1S08,  continued  in  that  arm  of  service,  passing  honorably  through 
every  grade  until  he  became,  in  1838,  Chief  Engineer  of  the  Army.  The  Senate,  before  his  death, 
unanimously  confirmed  his  nomination  by  the  President,  to  bo  'Major-General  by  brevet,  for 
long,  faithful  audominont  services.' 

"  General  Tottex's  milit:iry  career  of  more  than  half  a  century,  has  been  one  of  continued 
usefulness  and  distinguished  services.  In  1812,  he  was  called  to  the  field  to  assume  the  ardu- 
ous and  responsible  position  of  Chief  Engineer  of  the  Army  on  the  Niagara  frontier,  where  he 
took  a  conspicuous  part  in  the  attack  on  Qaeenstown  Heights  ;  and  the  following  year  in  the 
capture  of  Fort  George,  Upper  Canaila,  and  repulse  of  the  British  Uotilla  on  Lake  Ontario.  In 
1813-14,  he  became  Chief  Engineer  of  the  forces  successively  commanded  by  Generals  Wilkin- 
son, Macomb,  and  Izard,  participating  in  the  attack  on  La  Cole  Mill,  Lower  Can.ada  and  the 
battle  (if  I'luttsburg.  In  this  brief  war.  General  Totten  won  the  respect  and  admiration  of  his 
brother  officers,  and  the  marked  approbation  of  the  Government,  which  conferred  upon  him 
two  brevets  for  his  meritorious  and  distinguished  S3rvices.  On  the  return  of  peace,  his  high 
professional  abilities  were  called  into  activity  on  the  Board  of  Engineers,  which  projected  our 
e.xtended  line  of  Lake  defenses  and  sea  coast  fortifications.  These  works,  most  of  which  were 
planned  by  himself,  are  the  enduring  monuments  to  his  memory.  In  the  war  with  Mexico, 
General  Scott  summoned  his  early  companion-in-arms  to  aid  him  in  the  siege  of  Vera  Cruz,  where, 
for  his  'gallant  and  meritorious  conduct,'  (iineral  TorrEX  was  brevetiod  a  Brig. -General.  For 
the  past  twenty -six  year.=,  he  has  been  at  the  head  of  the  Engineer  Department,  arlministoring 
with  untiring  devotion,  spotless  integrity,  and  signal  ability,  the  varied  duties,  the  financial 
responsibilities,  and  the  professional  labors  of  that  arm  of  service  so  essential  to  our  na- 
tional defense. 

• '  In  addition  to  General  Totten's  multiplied  military  avocations,  he  was  an  active  member  r( 
th  •  Light  House  Board,  from  its  organization  in  1852  ;  a  Regent  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution, 
from  its  establishment  by  Congress  in  1846  ;  a  Corporator  of  the  National  Academy  of  Sciences, 
created  in  1863  ;  one  of  tho  Harbor  Commissioners  for  the  cities  of  New  York  and  Boston  ;  and 
■I  member  of  many  scientific  associations. 

'' Distinguished  fiir  urb.anily  of  manner,  gonial  social  qualities,  and  that  great  moral  excel- 
lence whieli  adorns  the  Christian  soldier  and  gentleman,  he  has  left  behind  an  exalted  repu- 
Uiiion  worthy  of  the  emulation  of  his  brother  officers,  and  which  his  surviving  children  may 
well  regard  as  a  pricolees  l<'g.acy. 

"  As  a  tribute  to  his  memiiry,  the  officers  of  the  Corps  of  Engineers  and  Military  .\cademy 
will  wear  the  prescribe  1  badge  of  mourning  for  thirty  days,  .and  the  d,ay  after  the  reception  of 
this  order  at  the  Military  Academy  half-hour  guns  will  bo  flrod  from  sunrise  to  sunset,  and  the

'First  Lieut.,  Coeps  of  Engineers,  Feb.  23,  1808) 

Senate,  or  compatible  with  the  public  interests:  for  it  would,  very  possibly,  imply  the 
necessity  of  ulterior  proceedings  not  contemplated  in  the  petition,  and  which  it  would  ba 
nianifesily  improper  to  originate  on  this  wise,  or  from  this  committee  at  all.  As  far,  however, 
as  the  committee  may  be  justified  in  pursuing  the  course  desired,  they  will  proceed  very 
cheerfully. 

'•The  c:ireer  of  the  petitioner  in  the  Army  of  the  United  States,  during  a  long  perioJ  of 
nearly  foity  years,  is  a  matter  of  history  that  may  justly  excite  the  pride  and  admiration 
of  every  American  citizen.  Brave  in  battle,  he  presided,  for  along  time,  with  distinguished 
honor  aul  ability,  at  the  head  of  one  of  the  most  difficult  and  arduous  bureaus  of  the  military 
department,  and  lias  loft  to  the  country  lastmg  monuments  of  his  skill  and  science  in  the 
construction  of  various  magnificent  fortifications,  both  to  exhibit  her  strength  and  to  insure  her 
safety. 

"While  thus  honorably  and  usefully  employed  in  the  public  service  for  so  many  years,  he 
was  constantly  confl  led  in  by  his  country ,  and  never  abused  her  confidence  in  the  disbursement 
of  immense  sums  of  money,  and  lived  honored  and  respected  by  all  classes  of  men,  with  no 
tuint  of  suspicion  attaching  to  his  name. 

"With  a  character  so  high  to  sustain  him,  the  charge  of  malfeasance  in  ofllce  should  be 
received  with  great  cautiou  by  the  people,  and  rigidly  scrutinized  by  Congress,  and  no  unjust 
influences  of  any  nature  whatsoever,  should  be  permitted  to  prevail  in  his  case  ;  but  if,  unfortu- 
nately, such  influences  do  obtain  ground,  then  it  is  obviously  the  imperative  duty  of  Oiagress 
to  remove  them,  for  no  higher  duty  devolves  upon  the  federal  logLslaturo  than  the  protection 
of  the  honor  of  its  military  officers,  of  which  it  is  necessarily,  to  a  very  great  extent,  the  chief 
custodian. 

"In  the  attainment  of  this  object  no  obstacle  whatever  should  be  allowed  to  interpose. 
Wherein  legislation  is  deficient,  it  should  be  supplied,  and  all  bars  of  rules  and  regulations  of 
the  service  should  be  roniuved,  lor  nothing  can  tie  so  dear  to  the  American  officer  as  his  honor, 
and  nothing  should  be  more  assiduously  guarded  by  the  American  people  thixn  tli;it,  for  the 
honor  of  the  soldiers  of  the  Republic  is  in  no  small  measure  the  life  and  spirit  of  enlighteno  1 
freedom.  With  these  brief  general  observations,  the  committee  will  as  briefly  revert  to  the  case 
of  the  petitioner. 

"  The  c:ise  of  General  Charles  Gratiot,  who  was  the  Chief  of  the  Corps  of  Engineers  in  the 
Army  of  the  United  Slates,  has  been  so  elaborately  discussed  in  every  circle,  and  so  fully 
reported  upon  to  Congress,  that  the  history  of  the  whole  case  is  familiar  to  every  one. 

"The  alleged  grievance,  which  cons-titutes  the  cause  of  his  dissatisfaction,  was  the  sum- 
mary dismissal  ol  the  petitioner  from  the  army,  in  the  year  1838,  by  the  President  of  the  Unite  I 
States — first,  upon  the  plea  that  the  power  thus  exercised  was  arbitrary,  and  contrary  to  the 
true  meaning  and  intent  of  the  act  of  Congress  conveying  it ;  and  secondly,  that  a  defalcation 
in  the  accounts  of  the  petitioner,  which  Wiis  the  cause  assigned  for  the  removal,  did  not  and 
never  did  exist  in  truth. 

"  In  support  of  his  first  plea,  the  petitioner  exhibits  a  mass  of  testimony,  which  is  certainly 
eulitlod  to  be  very  calmly  weighed  and  measured  ;  and  among  the  same  is  the  opinion  of  the 
General  Commanding-in-Chicf,  upon  a  paiallel  case,  than  which  no  authority  can  be  higher, 

"  In  support  of  the  .second  plea,  he  denies  totally  the  truth  of  the  charge  of  defalcation,  and 
contends  that  he  is  not,  and  never  was  indebted  to  the  United  Stales  for  moneys  misused  by 
him,  and  that  a  just  and  legal  adjustment  of  his  accounts  will  bring  the  United  States  in  debt 
to  him  ;  that  the  withholding  of  the  funds,  upon  the  demand  of  the  Secretary  of  War,  was  a 
measure  of  self-defence,  justified  by  the  circumstances  of  the  case,  and  that  he  was  then  and  is 
now  propund  for  an  equitable  settlement,  which  is  his  demand  and  desire. 

"It  seems  l^)  the  committee  that  both  of  the  pleas  are  reasonable,  and  should  receive  atten- 
tion, urged  hs  they  are,  with  the  earnestness  of  conscious  rectitude,  by  a  gallant  soldier,  who 
has  acquired  a  right  to  bo  heard  from  the  blood  he  has  spilled  in  battle. 

"Further  than  this  the  Committee  regret  that  they  cannot  go,  as  it  is  not  in  their  power  tc 
afiord  an  adequate  remedy  by  recommending  the  passage  of  any  law  for  the  relief  of  the  peti- 
tioners, and  they  therefore  ask  to  bo  discharged  from  the  further  consideration  of  the  subject. "

*  General  Halleck,  commanding  ihe  Division  of  the  Pacific,  in  directing  military  honors  to  be

■"  General  Du  Russy  was  many  years  Superintendent  of  the  Military  Academy,  often  served 
as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Engineers,  and  was  several  timos  Acting  Chief  Engineer  of  the

He  was  the  oldest  graduate  of  the  Military  Academy  iu  active  service,  and  one  of  the  last  of 
the  heroes  of  the  War  of  1812. 

"  Of  great  kindness  of  heart,  and  possessing  most  urbane  and  polished  manners,  ho  was 
endeared  to  a  largo  circld  of  friends,  and  the  surviving  graduates  of  the  Military  Academy  who 
were  educated  under  his  superintendence,  will  chorisb  his  memory  as  tliat  of  the  kindest  of

♦  General  Hitchcock,  who  passed  over  the  battle  groiintl,  Fob.  22, 1836,  reports  :  "Along  the 
north  and  west  liicHS  of  the  triangular  breastwork,  forraod  by  felled  trees,  were  about  thirty 
bodies,  mere  skeletons,  although  much  of  tlie  clothing  was  left  npou  them.  They  were  lying, 
almost  every  one  of  them,  in  precisely  the  position  they  mui5t  have  occupied  durius,'  the  light— 
their  heads  next  to  the  logs  over  which  they  had  delivered  their  Are,  and  their  bodies  stretched 
with  striking  regularity,  parallel  to  each  other.  They  had  evidently  been  shot  dead  at  their 
posts,  and  the  Indians  had  not  disturbed  them,  except  by  taking  the  scalps  of  mo.-;t  of  them. 
*  *  *  The  advanced  guard,  doubtless,  fell  during  the  fl,st  attick.  It  was  during  a  cessation 
of  fire,  that  the  little  band  still  remiiuiug,  about  thirty  in  number,  thiew  up  the  triangular 
breastwork,  which,  from  the  haste  with  which  it  w;is  constructed,  was  necoscarily  defective,

*  At  a  meeting  of  the  A,ssistants  of  the  Coast  Survey,  Feb.  18, 1867,  the  following  Resolution 
was  adopted,  "  as  a  tribute  to  the  memory  of  their  respected  and  honored  Chief,  and  beloved 
and  valued  friend  :" 

' '  That,  iu  the  death  of  Professor  Alexandek  Dallas  Bache,  Superintendent  of  the  United  States 
Coast  Survey,  the  country  has  lost  an  eminent  and  faithful  public  servant,  science  its  highest 
representative  in  America,  and  the  Coast  Survey  its  wise,  prudent,  and  energetic  Chief,  under 
whose  careful  administration  and  guardianship  it  has  attained  and  maintained  its  present 
vigorous  existence." 

The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  announced  his  death  in  the  following  order,  of  Feb.  19, 1867  : 

"  Treascsy  Depaetme-vt,  February  19.1867. 

"  In  the  death  of  the  Superintendent  of  the  Coast  Survey,  PKOFEbSOR  B.^che,  the  Department 
mourns  the  loss  of  one  of  its  most  valuable  and  most  highly  cherished  officers.  His  decease 
occurred  at  New|iort,  R.  I.,  on  the  17lh  inst.,  in  his  sixty-first  year. 

"  No  man  within  the  present  geaeration  was  more  widely  known  in  the  walks  of  practical 
science ;  none  has  been  so  closely  identified  with  collateral  service  in  the  various  public 
departments. 

"  Alexander  Dallas  Bache  was  born  at  Philadelphia,  in  April,  1806.  He  was  graduated  at 
the  Military  Academy  in  1825,  and  there  remained  a  year  as  Assistant  Professor.  Subsoqently, 
having  resigned  from  the  Corps  of  Engineers,  he  filled,  at  intervals,  imtil  the  year  1843,  an 
important  chili;'  iu  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 

'•  Within  the  same  poiiod  he  was,  during  live  years,  President  of  Girard  College,  and  matured 
the  system  of  education  adopted  for  the  PhilaJolphia  High  School,  yielding  to  that  object  time 
for  examining  the  principles  of  systematic  education  in  Europe. 

"His  devotion  to  practical  science,  and  his  abilities  as  an  administrative  oflJcer  being  well 
known,  Profjssor  Bache  was  appointed,  in  December, 1843,  to  the  vacantpost  of  Superintendent 
of  the  Coast  Survey.  Under  his  direction,  that  great  national  work  has  been  eminent,  no  less 
for  its  abunUmt  resilts  than  for  its  hi,'h  sciontilic  character,  which  has  won  the  approbation  of 
the  leading  learned  bodies  of  the  world,  among  whom  his  name  has  long  been  held  in  honor. 
He  possessed  by  nature  the  qualities  m  ist  conducive  to  susco.^s  in  the  management  of  widely 
extended  public  interests.  Invariably  mild  and  forbearing  towards  those  serving  under  his 
direction,  his  unremitting  energies  and  his  untiring  patience  were  as  invariably  given  to  the 
accomplislitn->nt  of  the  service  in  view. 

"  His  sympathy  with  the  effarts  of  others,  and  readiness  to  give  credit  for  their  exertions, 
secured  a  cordial  spirit  of  co-operation.  Sagacity,  perfect  freedom  from  bias,  and  constant 
activity  within  the  sphere  of  his  public  duties,  strongly  marked  his  relations  with  this  Depart- 
ment. 

"Ho  was  a  member  of  the  Light-house  Board,  and  participated  in  its  organization  ;  a  Regent 
of  the  Smithsonian  Institution  ;  and  ever  the  valued  associate  of  leading  men  to  whom  are  com- 
mittal qiostions  in  regard  to  matters  of  public  utility.  His  advice  was  eagerly  sought  in  the 
determination  of  many  local  and  general  facilities  to  further  the  interests  of  commerce  and 
navigation. 

"  that  tlio  deceased  Superintendent  had  bocomo  illustrious  in  America  and  in  Europe  is  duo  to 
the  steady  devotion  of  his  great  talents  to  the  service  of  the  people. 

"His  gMiial  disposition  attract;!  the  love  of  associates  and  of  subordinates;  his  wisdom 
comman  led  their  respect.  Ho  leaves  us  a  name  of  unsullied  purity,  and  a  memory  that  adds 
lustre  t)  the  many  public  records  upon  which  it  is  borne. 

"As  a  tribute  to  his  memory,  tho  Coast  Survey  Office  will  be  draped  in  black,  and  Will  be 
closed  on  the  day  of  tho  funeral. 

"Hugh  McCulloch,  Secretary  of  the  Treasury."

*  General  Hitchcock,  who  passed  over  the  batUe-ground,  Fob.  22,  1836,  reports  :  "  Along  the 
north  and  west  faces  of  the  triangular  breastworli  formed  by  felled  trees,  were  about  thirty 
bodies,  mere  skeletons,  although  much  of  tde  clothing  was  left  upon  them.  They  were  lying, 
almost  every  one  of  them, in  precisely  the  position  they  must  have  occupied  during  the  fight — 
their  heads  next  to  the  logs  over  which  they  delivered  their  tire,  and  their  bodies  stretched 
with  striking  regularity,  parallel  to  each  other.  They  had  evidently  been  shot  dead  at  their 
posts,  and  the  Indians  had  not  disturbed  them,  except  by  taking  the  scalps  of  most  of  them. 
•  *  *  *  The  advance  guard,  doubtless,  fell  during  the  tirst  attack.  It  was  during  a  cessa- 
tion of  fire  that  the  little  band  still  remaining — about  thirty  in  number — threw  up  the  triangular 
breastwork,  which,  from  the  haste  with  which  it  was  constructed,  was  necessarily  defeotive 
ami  could  not  protect  the  men  on  the  second  attack. 

The  action  lasted  from  8  a.  m.  to  4  p.  m.  The  United  States  troops  amounted  to  one  hundred 
and  eight,  and  the  savage  foo  to  eight  hundred  Seminole  Indians,  and  one  hundred  negroes. 
While  a  man  could  load  a  musket  the  tiring  was  continued.  When  all  the  officers,  except  Lieut. 
Basi.nger,  had  fallen,  he  said  :  "  Now,  my  boys,  let  us  do  the  best  we  can  :  I  am  the  only  ofQcer 
left,"  upon  which  the  firing  recommenced.  About  half -past  two  o'clock  he  was  brought  down 
by  a  rifle-shot  in  the  thighs,  and  ho  w;is  afterwards  cruelly  massacred  by  a  negro. 

A  beautiful  monument,  of  white  Italian  marble  was  erected  at  West  Point,  to  "Dadk  Ain>uis

Civil  History.— Travelling  in  Europe,  1854-57,  for  the  restoration  of  his 
health,  undermined  by  his  wound.  After  his  retm-u,  while  on  a  visit  to  the 
place  of  his  nativity,  near  the  oil  regions  in  Western  Pennsylvania,  he  became 
satisfied,  by  his  extensive  explorations,  of  the  abundance  of  Petroleum,  and 
was  among  the  very  fLrst  to  appreciate  the  value  of  this  great  discovery ;  hence, 
as  early  as  December,  1859,  he  commenced  sinking  oil  wells  by  the  Artesian 
method,  of  which,  under  his  direction,  forty-six  were  bored  to  depths  of  from 
six  to  seven  hundred  feet. 

In  1861,  though  anxious  to  serve  against  the  Rebellion  of  the  Seceding  States, 
he  was  compelled  to  desist  from  the  attempt,  because  of  disability  caused 
by  his  wound  received  in  Oregon,  in  1853.     Residence,  New  York  City.

BvT.  Second  Lieut.,  3d  Artilleey,  July  1,  1835. 

Served  in  the  Florida  War,  1835,  and,  in  Dade's  desperate  Battle  with  the 

Seminole  Indians,  where  "the  whole  command,  save  three,  fell  ■without  an 

attempt  to  retreat,"  was 

Killed,*  Dec.  28,  1835:  Aged  24. 

*  General  Hitchcock,  who  passed  over  the  battle-ground,  Feb.  22, 1836,  reports  :  "  Along  the 
north  and  west  laces  of  the  triangular  breastwork  formed  by  felled  trees,  were  about  thirty 
bodies,  mere  skeletons,  although  much  of  the  clothing  was  left  upon  them.  They  were  lying, 
almost  every  one  of  them,  in  precisely  the  position  they  must  have  occupied  during  the  fight — 
their  heads  next  to  the  logs  over  which  they  had  delivered  their  fire,  and  their  bodies  stretched 
with  striking  regularity,  parallel  to  each  other.  They  had  evidently  been  shot  dead  at  their 
posts,  and  the  Indians  had  not  disturbed  them,  except  by  taking  the  saiips  of  most  of  them. 
*  *  «  *  The  advance  guard,  doubtless,  fell  during  the  first  attack.  It  was  during  a  ces.sa- 
lion  of  fire  that  the  little  band  still  remaiiiiuK — about  thirty  in  number — threw  up  the  triangular 
breastwork,  which,  from  the  haste  with  which  it  was  constructed,  was  necessarily  defective 
and  could  not  protect  the  men  on  the  second  attack.'" 

The  action  lasted  from  8  a.  m.  to  4  p.  m.  The  United  States  troops  amounted  to  one  hundred 
and  eight,  and  the  savage  foo  to  eight  hiiuilred  .Seminole  Indians,  and  one  hunlred  negroes. 
Lieut.  Hendbbbon'  fell,  and  Lieut.  Keai.s  was  disabled  by  having  his  arms  broken  on  the  first  fire. 
The  latter  "  got  one  of  the  men  to  tie  both  arms  with  a  hundkerohief,  and  was  placed  agaiiLst 
a  tree,  where  he  was  tomahawked  by  the  negroes." 

A  beautiful  monument,  of  white  Italian  marble,  was  erected  at  West  Point,  to  "Cuie  axd  his 
Command."
